    Incident Log was enhanced to support 3 special Swedish characters (#, @ and $) in the dataset name in the attachment with APAR PH02062 in 2018. Dataset API was enhanced to support data set names in different encodings with APAR PH39690 in Dec 2021. If there is any other specific feature needed, please open a separate RFE to us.

    While the requirement asks for all character code page support for all of z/OSMF. This is too broad... We are reading this as it is listed in the PMR that z/OSMF has to support the special characters in a z/OS dataset name when attaching datasets, files, or members to the incident in the incident log application.
