Support for TRS-Files and XMIT in FileManager

FileManager should support datasets like TRS-packed files,
(used AMATERSE or TRSMAIN).
The Suffix (sorry for windows-like wording) .TRS should be an Indicator to present a "look-into" and/or the ability to unpack it.
Also a packing-ability should be presented.

    We won't be able to support XMIT and TRS files natively anytime soon, If you are transferring data between LPARs then consider using our remote services which will do that without the headaches of trsmain and xmit as you can simply copy or clone for multiple data sets the files from one system to another very simply. This does involve direct communication between the z/OS systems and the common server to be setup. Anyway we are closing this RFE as we won't be able to action it directly. Raise a new RFE if it is a major concern.

    My use case:
    IBM wants to get a dump file.
    I have to terse it, download it per FTP to my workstation and attach it on PMR website to my problem record.
    So i have to submit a job with TRSMAIN for transferring it.
    Or:
    I want to ship a PDS/PDSE File (maybe a loadlib) to another LPAR (without direct communication between the z/OS-Systems).
    I have to XMIT it (long command line in ISPF or
    a batch job).

    Can you share your use cases? We have some functions in FM's remote system support feature during COPY operation.
