Enable the RSE API to support exact (non‑wildcard) PDS member queries without requiring pagination headers.

Customers frequently need to filter or retrieve a single, exact PDS member, but the current RSE API rejects non‑wildcard member queries whenever any pagination headers are included, which prevents IBM Z Open Editor and Zowe Explorer from supportin...

RSEAPI/RSE should not alter the 'referenced date' of datasets when they are listed via z/OS Explorer (Eclipse/VS Code).

When users list Datasets through Eclipse/VSCode, the "referenced date" for all listed datasets are inadvertently updated to the current date. This happens even though no dataset was browsed, viewed or edited. This behavior has a significant impact...

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...

IDZ V14.2.0 Browsing a remote sequential file not possible unlike TSO

In Remote Systems view (z/OS Projects perspective), if I open a remote file to edit it, my colleagues can neither browse nor view this file whereas if they work directly with TSO they can read the file in browse or view mode. IDZ displays a pop-up...
