    OTEL EXPORTERENDPOINT= specify file for basic testing. Would like to route to file, for basic testing of new OTEL feature, since no collectors available. I saw a video where this was done for other product (Not CTG), where for basic initial testin...

    Allow attribute on LIST

    Often, I know that a register points to character data or to an array. I would like a way to specify the data type and a repetition count on the LIST command. It would be nice, but not essential, for the syntax to be modelled on DS syntax in HLASM.

    Group List Support in DSSGROUP

    It would be a good idea if in the SECTION DSSGROUP, in addition to lists with SECTION IPICSERVER server names, you could add lists composed of other SECTION DSSGROUP group names.

    Enhance the ITERATE macro to include a condition.

    If the ITERATE macro supported conditions, every assembler program that uses ITERATE within a DO construct will be smaller and more efficient.

    Support debugging specific steps inside a PROC

    Given the "Debug as" feature, the debug configuration fails to detect inherited steps when the JCL under test uses a PROC. Only the steps in the main JCL are provided for selection. I suggest to analyse or pre-process the JCL by the debug launch c...

    RDS (EQARMTD) and zOpenDebug are not currently sysplex-aware, so they can't redirect our debug request, and we cannot always pick up IMS transactions for debug.

    We have an issue using the z/OS Debugger in VS Code, due to our setup in Test where we have two LPAR’s in a Sysplex. Since our IMS transactions are automatically placed on either LPAR, we need to be able to pick up the transaction from either LPAR...

    If we want to stop manually an IMS, we have to stop each MPP manually by entering STO REG command with the REGID or Jobname. In order to accelerate the process, is it possible to have a command : STO REG ALL like STO TRAN ALL; STOP DB ALL
