This is certainly a correct list; there may be more specialized lists as well, but there are more eyeballs here, so it's a good place to start.

Hello, I am not sure if this is the correct list to ask this. Is anyone out there using z/OS Connect EE with IMS as a Service Provider? We have been able to successfully process requests using EBCDIC CodePage 1047. I am trying to make things work using CodePage UTF-16BE. With IMS, the first two bytes of the Request Message are reserved for a BINARY LL data item. The next two bytes are reserved for a BINARY ZZ data item. The next eight bytes must contain the IMS Transaction Code. If I want the request message to arrive in my IMS program encoded as UTF-16BE, I assume that the entire request message is encoded as UTF-16BE. And, I believe this is wreaking havoc with the LLZZ and Transaction Code data items. Has anyone managed to use CodePage UTF-16BE for these IMS Services in z/OS Connect? Perhaps this just simply cannot be done? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Is there a z/OS Connect EE list? Or maybe an IMS list I should ask this in?
