    Moving DATAREAD to Linux duplicates developerWorks RFEs 39856 and 70971. This was delivered with PJ42460 on z/TPF PUT13.
    Moving TRAP to Linux duplicates developerWorks RFE 40803. This RFE is being closed as a duplicate.

    Due to resources and prioritization, IBM does not intend to do this in the foreseeable future.
