    Thank you for raising this requirement.

    It seems like you are suggesting an enhancement for Connect:Direct for z/OS.

    Requirements for this product and other Watson Supply Chain products are handled in a different system:
    https://watsonsupplychain.ideas.aha.io/ideas?project=CONDIRECTZ

    Unfortunately we are unable to directly transfer this RFE to that system so please could you re-raise your requirement at the link above to ensure it is not lost.

    We will close this RFE as to indicate that z/OS Connect EE was not the intended target for this RFE.

    Sorry, I realize now that z/OS Connect is not the correct place for this. However, there seems to be no option for Sterling Connect Direct, so I have nowhere else to put this.
    Perhaps this will add ammunition for this to be resolved. :)
