    We have a GitLab, and all our SQL scripts are stored in this GitLab. To run them in RUN SQL SCRIPT, we first need to download them to our PC. Would it be possible to have access to a URL to open the script directly in GitLab?

    ACS Spool File Download Options

    Be able to include the USRDTA in the file name when downloading a spoolfile to your local computer. The user data can mean something and it would be nice to be able to include that as part of the PDF file name.
