    Allow ability to invoke Functions and Stored Procedures using Specific name in addition to Long Name.

    Currently Tables, Index and Views have the ability to invoke using either the long name or the short 10 character name. It will benefit for adopting both short and long names and stay consistent with Tables, Indexes and Views.

    Support sctp on IBM i. I have used IBM system exclusively for 50 years. I have to use a Linux partition to access sctp now.
