PH53150: Remote z/OS Search from MVS Files in IDz v15 does not apply any criteria and runs with "*.*" full search

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When a Remote z/OS Search is triggered from
  MVS Files under the z/OS connection in the Remote Systems view,
  "Existing filters" is automatically selected but no criteria
  is applied (no filter is selected).
  
  In that case, the search is similar to *.* and extends beyond
  the list of filters defined under the connection.
  
  The Search button should be deactivated as long as nothing is
  selected in the "Existing filters" list and the label
  "Existing filters" should be replaced by one that prompts
  clearly the user to apply a criteria, like "Select in existing
  filters"
  

Local fix

• select one or more filters
  

Problem summary

• When a Remote z/OS Search is configured with the "Existing
  filters" radio button selected but without selecting any
  filters, a search *.* unexpectedly occurs.
  

Problem conclusion

• Remote z/OS Search should require users to select one of the
  filters, or a dataset underneith a filter when using "Existing
  filters".
  

Temporary fix
