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.

The idea is related with how we are planning the transformation process.
We want developers to get the benefits that IDz offers before completing all the reimplementation of all our current develop, build and deploy processes. Things such as syntax highlighting, copybooks expansion, build and test before commiting a change, etc. give great value that can be used with our current tooling.
This approach also helps us to test in a non productive environment our reimplementation of the build processes.
I don't follow the logic of this idea. IDz is a modern IDE created so that a mainframe developer can create/maintain mainframe artifacts such as COBOL programs. To be able to do this a developer would go through the steps of creating a project etc etc... this is what has to happen for them to be able to use IDz to edit source. A developer will want to perform a personal build when they want to build and test the code they have just changed in IDz.
I don't understand what the scenario is here where a develepor would want to arbritarily build something in a PDS because it would mean they have not modified it via IDz.
