Multiple places for CodePage-Configuration in RDz

When configuring a new installation of RDz, you have to change the codepage for the host-connection three times (but only for non-us-codepages):
1) In View "Remote Systems",
right klick on connection, "Properties",
choose "Host" on left side, Default encoding is automatic on radio button "default from remote system".
Ok, nothing to do.

2) In View "Remote Systems",
right klick on "MVS Files" in an connection, "Properties",
choose "Code Pages" on left site,
The Host code page is always ibm-037 and NOT the default code page from step 1.

3) In View "Remote Systems",
right klick on connection, "Host Connection Emulator",
Register "Host Properties"
"Host connection properties" you have to enter a code page other than ibm-037 again.

    As part of the review process, we strive to be transparent about our intentions with each RFE. The offering team has carefully reviewed this RFE and has decided that it does not fit into our current plans within the next 1-2 years, so the RFE will be closed. The request will be kept in RFE system and might be reassessed or reopened for additional feedback or voting in the future. We value your feedback and thank you for allowing us the privilege of partnering with you in developing our products.
