    Thank you for taking the time to suggest an enhancement to our product. Many of our product enhancements result from feedback from our customers, so your input is always very important to us. We feel this is a valid requirement but delivery within the RFE 2 year window is not likely. Please resubmit in 12-18 months for reconsideration if still valid. Again, thank you for your suggestion and continued support.

    This is an old request also something I have been asking for in a long time.
    Why not use the same method as File Manager and other tools do using the "Host Connection" view.
    File Manager lpar to lpar copy is also a mess. Even though you have lpar's defined FM can't copy a dataset to another lpar.
    It is in the copy wizard - but doesn't really work.
    Regards Peter
