    Hi Michael Tutor,

    Thank you for your interest in keeping IMS a vital and successful product.

    The tooling support for z/OS Connect has been moved from the IMS Explorer to the z/OS Connect API toolkit. As a result, we are going to reject this RFE for IMS Explorer. If you are still interested in both of the enhancements request, please re-submit the RFE to the z/OS Connect product instead.

    Thanks again for your continuous support on IMS.
