    Enhance DSNJU008 LIST CDDS output to also list the number of tablespaces maintained in the CDDS

    DSNJU008 LIST CDDS today lists the number of dictionaries contained in the CDDS. Example: “DICTIONARY RECORDS PRINTED 123”. This could be 1 dictionary of 123 tablespaces, or 41 tablespaces with 3 dictionaries for each (41 * 3 = 123). We would like...
