File Manager - Allocate Data Set Wizard

Remove LOOKUP on DATA SET. In this box, you must enter a new name. There is nothing to lookup. Also, if I enter a name that already exists, I don't get an error message immediately. I don't receive the error message until I select FINISH. You should not be allowed to go past the first panel if the dataset name already exists. At this time, you can select NEXT and continue to other panels. You don't get the error until you select FINISH.

    As of RDz 8.0.3 the FMI (File Manager Integration) functionality officially migrates into the IBM File Manager plug-in. The IBM File Manager plug-in is available for download at http://www-01.ibm.com/software/awdtools/deployment/pdtplugins/ as part of purchase of IBM File Manager. The FMI functionality included in RDz 8.0.3 will no longer be enhanced with all future enhancements delivered via the IBM File Manager plug-in. This requirement has been opened with the PD Tools (File Manager) team for review. Please refer to the FITS Requirement # MR0919114438 for more information.
