This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Z Software products. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,
Post an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.
Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

Hi
When using different names for loadmodule and first program it's possible to map those with PgmModuleMap.txt (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/addi/6.1.1?topic=tasks-adding-files-project-folders). To be able to automate create/update of the textfile will easy the burden of keeping it up to date.
I suggest that a change that allows you to use filename of your choice and the ability to map PgmModuleMap to that file (i.e. how IMS-TM works). This will allow us to create the source on z/OS using data in i.e. linkcards and fetch it thru AD-connect with other sources.
Looking the the documentation there is also several other mapping files this improvment would apply to (mq, PSB, etc.)
Feel free to contact me if you want me to elaborate on the use case.
