Need to have the possibility to specify multiple commands.

This is an RFE to ask a generic enhancement to on E3270UI and/or TOM, so I hope it is correct to set product to OMEGAMON XE on z/OS as it owns the BASE functions.

Suppose you are on a WorkSpaces showing a list of resources, for example WS KIPDEPS showing the list of IMS Dependent Regions, or KDPPTHRD showing all DB2 Group Active Threads.
You can then issue a command on one of this resources (a thread or a dependent region).
But, if you specify your choice on multiple lines/resources, only the first command is executed.
Just to do an example, suppose on KDPPTHRD I specify choice 'S' on multiple lines, I will be driven to the Thread Statistics WorkSpace of the first line, when pressing PF3 I will return to KDPPTHRD losing all the other commands I have previously specified on other lines.

It would be good if, after pressing PF3, instead of return to the previous workspace I would be directly driven to the workspace invoked by he second command.
Something like the behaviour of ISPF 3.4 when you do a 'B' for browse on multiple dataset.
After browsing the first dataset, after pressing PF3 you are directly driven to browse the second dataset, without having to return to the list and specify again the command 'B'.

It would be very useful if also in TOM panel we could give a command on multiple lines of the list and having they executed without having to return to the list and give the command again.

    Due to processing by IBM, this request was reassigned to have the following updated attributes:
    Brand - Servers and Systems Software
    Product family - zSeries Software
    Product - Tivoli OMEGAMON XE on z/OS

    For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:
    Brand - Tivoli
    Product family - Performance Monitoring
    Product - Tivoli OMEGAMON XE on z/OS

    This RFE has merit and as there are items on the TOM roadmap that may address this request we are moving this to uncommitted candidate status. We are not sure when and if this will ultimately be implemented but current TOM work will be providing a toolkit function which will help in this area. Thank you.

    Just a brief comment.
    In the past via RFE 53433 to OMEGAMON XE for DB2, we asked to have the possibility to issue a massive deletion of threads and without the confirmation.
    APAR PI21079 introduces the possibility to bypass Thread Cancel Confirmation Screen for E3270UI.
    In PMR 25628,311,758 they explained us that multiple thread cancel should be implemented in E3270 base code.
    I think this request is already 'included' in this RFE 61364, as described in Use Case section.
