Document how to create customized "Insert from Examples" in Run SQL Scripts

I want to create custom "Insert from Examples". I can't find the documentation but figured out much of it.
Store the files with an extension of .sql in
C:\Users\ROB\Documents\IBM\iAccessClient\RunSQLScripts\Examples
It doesn't use the file name, it uses the comments within the file
(see attachment)


Use Case:

Complex grouping sets, etc
