    The DFSJVMEV and DFSJVMMS members of the IMS proclib can be overruled by using the //STDENV option in JCL. Is it possible to make this also available for the DFSJVMAP member? This would improve the DEVOPS experience when using the STDENV option in...

    Enhance IMS TM Resource Adapter's setPassword method to handle RACF passphrases
