If you find cases where the manual says something will work (or you read it as saying that) and the product doesn't support it, then I would say that is DEFINITELY a place where you should create a support PMR.
If you have questions about "how to" (and the manuals aren't clear), and it is for COBOL, you can try posting it to comp.lang.cobol Usenet group. I don't know how many debut tool users there are in that group, but there may be some. (Most of the contributors are PC/Linux/Unix COBOL users, but some are from IBM Enterprise COBOL shops. I would Certainly create RCF's (Readers Comment Forms) on anything that you think needs to be changed or expanded in the documentation).
