    Currently we use: SET QACCESS NAME(*) - MSGAUTHUSERS and specify a list of users. This lead to many changes as users come and go. It would be much more efficient to either allow MSGAUTHUSERS to take a RACF Group value or create a MSGAUTHGRP keywor...

    Default/global filter expansion value

    When setting up custom filters within the Remote Systems pane, it would be very convenient for there to be a setting to allow you to set the default expansion amount for new filters. Currently, all new filters have an expansion value of 50, so any...

    RSEAPI Add Support to Append Data to Files and Datasets

    Currently there is no API to append to existing files/datasets. PUT /content and/rawContent for MVS and UNIX only replaces the contents. This idea would be to add an optional request header that lets you choose between "replace" and "append" for t...
