I voted for the PAS RFE as a user, not considering what I know--or don't know--about the underlying technology. A particular ISV product some time ago changed a screen to create exactly what Lionel is complaining about. A column title on a PDS member list was suddenly tabbable, 'capturing' the cursor on its way to the first member entry. I complained and got the answer that some customers wanted this behavior so they could (re)sort the list based on that column. My objection was that 99% of the time a(ny) user wants to select a member entry, not sort the list. ISV gave me some kind of fix.
I recently started a thread here on the new default behavior of SDSF in z/OS 2.3. PAS, if it's useful at all, should be controllable by the user. I question the value of PAS if only because it interrupts the 'finger flow' of an application. You have to keep a wary eye peeled on the screen all the time to know where you're at. That might be fine for a first-time or occasional user, but it compromises productivity for the experienced user. Which most of us are. . .
