It does seem irksome that a feature would be provided in a half-baked
fashion especially when it has taken so long to become available.
There have been a number of cases where an organization or user
submitted a requirement, IBM accepted it and delivered something
different. That's why it's important to be as detailed as possible in
describing the requirement, but without anything that could be
construed as specifying the implementation.
Here's the deal guys. Unix System Services already had routines written
to provide POSIX regex capability, so that was our first cut at
providing regex function. Instead of bitching about it endlessly on
IBMMain, I would politely suggest that you get your asses over to RFE
and submit a requirement. Let us know what regex function you need so
we can get it in plan. The earliest timeframe would be zNextNext, in
9/2017, but depending on the function, we may be able to introduce it in
the service stream before then.
