ACS - Database Table Functions

Allow me to edit the contents of a table from the ACS Database context.
I can View, Clear, Copy, Initialize and Reorganize Data but not Edit the content.


Use Case:

This option is heavily used by our database administrators in order to view and manipulate data within a table in pre-production environments. Also not having this option available in neither the ACS nor the Navigator for i prevents them from adopting the ACS software.

    The CAAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a medium priority requirement that should be addressed. Most needed are alpha, numeric, and date/time. This is most useful for development purposes.

    Background: The COMMON Americas Advisory Council (CAAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CAAC has a key role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community, and has therefore reviewed your RFE.

    For more information about CAAC, see www.common.org/caac
