PINNED Respect $HOME/.config/go/env
After adding eval $(/path/to/goz-env) in .profile, each time I log in to OMVS, I get 3 or 4 lines about $COMPILER_PATH. Can you add config to turn this off, please? Second, even if I have $HOME/.config/go/env (per XDG spec), go env says that `go` ...

Missing functions in COBOL

To determine the size of an array, most programmers use a constant and check the index against the constant. As an alternative compiler option SSRANGE can be used, which is not very performant.It might be a good choice to have functions which retu...

I want to order single products of a licensed suite

We use the IBM products System Automation and Netview, which we now want to replace with subsequent releases. In our current contract with IBM, however, these products are no longer licensed and can therefore not be ordered using Shopz, even tho...

there are still limitations of 2GB, and storage must be reused to effectively utilize the insufficient areas. Therefore, I would like to request a function to secure storage through program compress in advance before reaching short-on-storage.

We're running CICS/TS V5.6. Our CICS is expected to run out of 2G virtual storage in the near future.Basically, the amount of programs used is large, so the size of the ERDSA reaches 800M. As shown below, EDSALIM is 1300M and we uses almost all of...

When recording the zUnit test cases, the folder should be defaulted to JCL folder and not the PROGRAM folder

Since we have a JCL folder for zUnit, when ever we do start recording, it should point to JCL folder in default, which will help developer avoid manual selection and its time consuimg as well.

zUnit test case prefix is actually not required and its creating some other issues

Test case perfix overridng other program test cases and its a very high potential issue

While creating the test case, after we selected "Multiple folder" option, IDZ need to set all the folder name automatically.

Eacn and every time, we need to select manually after we select the option "Multiple folder" and its very time consuming as well. If this is fixd, it would be very helpful to developers.

Debug Tool should start up when transactions get an AICA

If the application gets an AICA (CICS), the only message the developer gets is a connection lost. We figured out that the AICA is explicit trapped in the Debug Tool. But we want the AICA to be passed to the frontend.
