64-bit RBD debugger and Remote VSAM; Support for Z/VSE SAM ESDS files in VSEDDM and VSE connector

This RFE contains three items.

1) Z/VSE SAM ESDS support to RBD's remote VSAM access (via VSEDDM and VCS)
3) Possibility to select which VSE Connector's port VSEDDM is using
2) VSEDDM support for 64-bit RBD

    This feature was delivered in version 9.5.1.1.

    VSEDDM was the old way to remotely access VSAM files on VSE. It used VSE Connector Server (VCS) as the VSE back-end. It is no longer the preferred way to remotely access VSE VSAM files, and we don't think it will be enhanced to support all three points. VSEDDM is maintained by VSE support team not RBD.

    We can change RBD to use VSE Connector Client instead of VSEDDM to remotely access VSE VSAM files. It supports 64bit RBD, you can specify the VCS port number and it supports SAM ESDS. RBD already uses VSE Connector Client for COBOL generation and Remote DL/I.

    If I understand this correctly, the main functional problem is that the VSE DDM implementation in RBD does not support accessing SAM ESDS files.
    Native Java API of VSE Connector would support that.
    Due to that, replacement of current DDM based remote VSE file access with VSE Connector Client implementation would be a genuine enhancement (probably also in view of having remote VSE file access feature in 64bit releases of RBD).

    I strongly support this RFE!
