Show when INGVARS are deleted from resources

When you add a new INGVAR to a resource, it will display inside the History section of the resource exactly what you have set and what that INGVAR has been set to. For example;

History :
2020-01-21 09:31:05 Variable attribute/user/TESTVAR manipulated by
operator TXYEC1
HSAL6181I Variable attribute/user/TESTVAR set to 00000000; TEST

However, when you delete an INGVAR from the resource, no messages shows at all. The resource will simply disappear from the User Vars list.

Please could we have the ability to see when INGVARS have been deleted from resources as well as set to them.

    Hi,

    Thanks for taking this under consideration.

    I have also noticed it is not possible to use wildcards in the middle of variables to display multiple INGVARS.

    Example;

    INGVARS SET SYSPLEX/GRP TEST.JOHN.TEST YES
    YES
    INGVARS SET SYSPLEX/GRP TEST.DAVE.TEST YES
    YES

    Trying to display multiple;

    * ZACOC INGVARS GET SYSPLEX/GRP TEST.*.TEST
    | ZACOC AOF343I NOTHING TO DISPLAY

    Displaying singular with wildcard either side;

    * ZACOC INGVARS GET SYSPLEX/GRP *.JOHN.TEST
    | ZACOC
    SYSPLEX/GRP TEST.JOHN.TEST YES
    *** End of Display ***
    * ZACOC INGVARS GET SYSPLEX/GRP TEST.JOHN.*
    | ZACOC
    SYSPLEX/GRP TEST.JOHN.TEST YES
    *** End of Display ***

    Would it be possible to manipulate INGVARS using wildcards in the middle too?
