Need Remote Connection Emulator to support interface that is displayed in unformatted mode.

The IDz v16 documentation indicates the following limitation for the Remote Connection Emulator:

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/developer-for-zos/16.0?topic=eclipse-connecting-zos-by-using-remote-connection-emulator#intro__limitations

Remote Connection Emulator does not support any interface that is displayed in unformatted or Network Virtual Terminal (NVT) mode. 
 

Customers using unformatted mode cannot use the Remote Connection Emulator while they could use the Host Connection Emulator in v15.

    When all these RCE issue will be fixed ? We have been testing almost year now for IDz v16.0.1, IDz v16.0.2 and then now applied RCE fix with v16.0.2 testing. Still RCE has lot of issues and limitation. This stopping me to release v16x to developer this faulty product.

    After going through multiple round of various v16x version testing, I can say Host Connection emulator was lot better than RCE. IBM should put lot more effort to fix these issues and on top of that test it product overall since still there are lot of issue. I have become beta tester for IBM. It taking lot of effort from our side spending on case creation following and keep on doing trial error.

    This is a major blocker for our organization as it prevents any 3270 emulation. We are now stuck on unsupported IDz 14.x versions or competing company emulator until this gets resolved
