Why is it 100 times easier to make a purchase from Amazon than to vote on an

I have entered an idea on the IBM Ideas portal to use that portal (or something
like it) for entry (and more importantly, tracking) of at least z/OS
documentation RCF's.

One consequence is that it is much harder for wikipedia editors to locate IBM
announcement letters. Given that wiki is edited almost exclusivelt by
volunteers, this is likely to drive some editors away from creating or updating
pages on IBM products. It'
s a lose-lose proposition.

What new option? I see a lot of discussion of problems with change bars in

There is LRECL=X, but besides we have not very strict limitation of
LRECL. It is 32760 or 32767.
First value is limited by JCL syntax, but the second is available when

Hello Gil,
Please let me know what publication you are referring to. I will make sure it
gets fixed and that it is reflected in the next delivery in June.
It is not necessary to list that we removed a revision bar that does not belong
in the summary of changes.
Thank you,

The solution is to associate a date with a change bar. It's easy to do with
"obsolete" markup languages like Script, not so much with WYSIAYG.

I spotted a typo in a "Summary of changes". If I submit an RCF and IBM fixes
it.
will they need to add a new Summary entry reflecting that change?
There's a related erroneous revision bar. If IBM removes it, should they
re-insert it
to document the removal?
