More than a year ago (it may have been 2012, I just can't
remember), I put forth an idea that IBM do a search for its
manuals based on their ID for the manuals, while the user could
name that manual from that point.
Example: iea2b6a0.pdf might become iea2b6a0_JCL_REF.pdf
This was immediately slapped down as never gonna happen.
But, what if IBM were to do this naming?
Should this be put forth as a Share request/requirement?
Now, on a Linux system I can create a link to that particular
manual so that it becomes JCL_REF.pdf, but this takes a while to
do for each manual that I'm interested in. But that's me, how
many are you interested in?
And if one is a Windows user, can one easily do a link?
Notice, I have these manuals in sub directories by O/S release
(yes, I also do this for VM as well) so that I can find something
that I know is specific to a certain version/release.

Steve Thompson

I rename a few of the manuals (the ones I use all the time), but I too wish the
file names of the manuals were the full manual name. I would hate to think
about trying to rename hundreds of manuals each time, I would go nuts, but I do
copy about 20 of them that I really care about.
Using the index is great (I rename that too), but it still would be nice to
have better names on the individual files.
