Why does the SYSVIEW/E Quick-Ref interface no longer function as I expect?
The CA-SYSVIEW/E product makes a direct program interface call to MVS/Quick-Ref. When release 5.0 of MVS/Quick-Ref came out, the interface changed and Computer Associates did not find out ahead of the GA date. Consequently, they were unable to modify their interface call in conjunction with the release of 5.0 of MVS/Quick-Ref. When the problem was discovered, a compatibility fix was developed for release 5.0 and 5.1 of MVS/Quick-Ref that allowed the program to use the “old” interface. This was not the best of solutions but did allow most users to “get by”. By the time release 5.2 of MVS/Quick-Ref was released, new releases of CA-SYSVIEW/E (and also OPS/MVS) were available; therefore, the compatibility fix was not implemented for 5.2.
