This is the public portal for all IBM Z Hardware and Operating System related offerings. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,
Post an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.
Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

Please provide RACF command RALTER's ADDMEM field to support WILDCARD or System SYMBOLIC variable for the dataset name.
For example: we would like to be able to specify dataset using system symbolic;
RALTER PROGRAM ** ADDMEM('AO.D9G.&SYSID..XXXXXXXX'//NOPADCHK)
Or even using WILDCARD in the DSN qualifier.
RALTER PROGRAM ** ADDMEM('AO.D9G.**.*'//NOPADCHK)
Today, this is not possible.
We will have to specify a unique DSN across over 45 lpars and for several DSN.
This is time-consuming, tedious and problematic when a DSN is renamed or changed.
This is also not an efficient and effective approach for managing and maintaining RACF definitions and libraries.
Thank you
Paul Liao
