In addition to any restrictions or limitations imposed by File Manager®,
the File Manager® plug-in has the following limitations and restrictions.
Editor Limitations are documented in the editor section.
Member names
Only member names that meet the following requirements are supported:
- Name consists of alphanumeric characters (excluding lower case
letters) and/or the following special characters -!#$&_=+{}@

Members with names which do not meet all these requirements may

HFS File names
File names for which one or more of the following apply are explicitly
not
supported:
- Name contains a space
- Name contains an asterisk (*) or a percent sign (%)
- Name contains a quotation mark ("), ampersand (&), less-than sign (<),
greater-than sign (>) or a null character
CICS Resources
CICS Systems with a colon in their name are not supported. Similarly, CICS resources which are on a
CICS System with a colon in its name are not supported.
DB2 Object Locations
Use of DB2's location functionality is not supported. To work with a specific DB2 location, make
that location available as a DB2 subsystem. Consult the File Manager® for z/OS® documentation for
information on how to do this.
It is not possible to copy from one DB2 subsystem to another.
DB2 Object Owners and Names
DB2 objects with a non-standard SQL identifier for owner and/or name may cause unexpected behaviour,
and may not be recognised as valid input. To be considered a Standard SQL identifier, the following
must be true:
- the identifier composed of alphanumerics plus the three national characters and underscore
- the identifier does not start with a number
Trailing spaces in owner & name are explicitly not supported.
Templates
Only templates which are members of PDS or Library data sets are supported.
