Create online hierarchical DDL command

Currently, we have either the DDL or GEN commands to view the object definition. We would like GEN to be online (currently batch only) or have a new command. The action should produce the data in an online format (temporary dataset) for viewing or copying.

 

This would be similar to BMC's HDDL command in BMC Catalog Manager. 

 

This command should provide the object and all dependents. For example, HDDL on a table will give you the table DDL, indexes, comments, foreign keys, etc.

    I believe DDL and GEN commands (batch and TSO) do provide what we need at this time. You may close this idea. Thanks.

    Clarify if customer knows about GEN online solution. Otherwise, consider accepting and add option to do "GEN quick" without panel prompt;
