Enable the RSE API to support exact (non‑wildcard) PDS member queries without requiring pagination headers.

Customers frequently need to filter or retrieve a single, exact PDS member, but the current RSE API rejects non‑wildcard member queries whenever any pagination headers are included, which prevents IBM Z Open Editor and Zowe Explorer from supporting this use case. When users try to filter an exact member name, the server returns an HTTP 400 Bad Request with error CRRZR4007E indicating that pagination headers cannot be used for non‑wildcard queries. Allowing the RSE API to process precise member names without requiring wildcard patterns would make dataset navigation more intuitive, remove unnecessary errors, and align the API with common user expectations. The feature should allow DATASET(MEMBER) requests to succeed without requiring pagination.

    Hi, thank you for your RFE suggestion.

    The team wanted to clarify the following details :

    • What is the exact PDS member is identified by name or ordering index (integer)?

    • With both exact PDS member (by name or integer index) and range query provided (by start range name or start index), should the return be inline with both conditions?
      For example: PDS has member 'B' (index 2), for the exact filter name 'B' with memberAttrs query if:

      • start range name is 'C', or start index is 3, it will return nothing.

      • start range name is 'A', or start index is 1, it will return the member 'B' attributes.

    • Should the caller expect to have the index (integer) of the member returned in the response header?
