When i change Super session Global Trigger to use '/' in KLSGOTO, we have problems editing JCL. See case TS003047864

We are in the process of migrating CA-TPX software to CL/SuperSession. In this process, at the client's request we are trying to maintain similarity with what we had in CA-TPX.
Customer wants to use / to navigate between applications so we set the trigger to switching from \ to /. at /g KLSGOTO we switch to / only.
With this we have problems in the process of editing JCL that has // on all lines.
Switching to /g or \ may cause problems with custom applications (robots) to access applications.

    Based on our current plans and priorities it is not likely that this will be implemented in the next 12 months and so it is being declined at this point. The requirement will be kept in the RFE system and might be reassessed in the future. You also have an opportunity to resubmit in twelve months time if you wish it to be reconsidered then.

    For example I have the TSO1, TSO2 and TSO3 applications.
    Currently if I'm on the TSO1 monitor and want to go to the monitor I type /gtso2 or /g tso2.
    We would like to do this navigation using /tso2 or /tso3 without impacting the JCL editing process.

    Currently to navigate between applications I use / g and then the name of the application.
    As our client used CA-TPX and navigation in it, navigation was done through / and the name of the application.
    When we changed or we changed the trigger klsgoto to / it presented problems in the JCL editing process. As in jcl we use //, when we made a change in jcl and this enter, it undoes the changes, which can cause problems, because we can think that we made the changes but they were undone.
    Our suggestion is that we can use / to navigate between applications without interfering with the JCL editing process.
