We was able to query on anything in global zone ( this is a global zone
only dataset). The strange issue is that if we specify GLOBAL as subentry
we get SREL, OPTION and some other items including first entry of the
zoneindex. Why does GIMAPI returns all this data if subentry is global?

GIMAPI does not verify the value of subentry and you can specify any value.
It only verify the entry and the zone ( in zoneindex…).
