Product highlights

IMS™ HP Prefix Resolution enables you to run the Prefix Resolution function and the Prefix Update function in a single job step. It also reduces elapsed time as compared to running Prefix Resolution and Prefix Update separately. Users of IMS HP Prefix Resolution benefit from the utility's faster execution time.

IMS HP Prefix Resolution also has the following highlights:
