    Some of the items are being addressed.

    https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/apar/PH23287

    Allowed CURRENT DATE, CURRENT TIME and CURRENT TIMESTAMP special
    registers to be processed.
    Added summary report, which describes total inserts, updates,
    deletes and the list of warnings/errors met.
    Allowed "not previously used" job identifiers to be specified in
    "Execute Dynamic SQL in Batch: Fast Apply" ISPF panel.

    2) Add v12 validation to FAS.
    3) Possible loop when running in 2PH VSAM mode.
    4) Add "NON ATOMIC" attribute to Multirow insert in Fast Apply.
