Re: %lookup on a Data Structure Array

There are ways to influence how IBM apportions resources. One is to 
submit a requirement at the COMMON website - it's free, no need to join 
COMMON. Get a COMMON ID and password, go to the community tab on the 
site, and look for requirements. And there can be more than one of us 
that does this, so all here who think it'd be worthwhile, submit a 
requirement.

There is also the DCR process - the requirement process is 
even-more-strongly viewed at IBM, because it is vetted by more than one 
individual.

I don't know whether the RFE process recently discussed in these lists 
is a place to enter this kind of thing - might be worth a look - review 
posts of the last few days in, perhaps, the WDSC list or the main list.
