ACS Toggle column name / label in "SQL run script"

The output from a SQL query gives a nice grid, however some times you need the column names from the query and other times you need the column label.

Today only the column name are shown.


Use Case:

In the grid popupmenu or in the menu it would be nice if "Show labels" check box could allow the user to switch to column header between column name and label.

An additional feature - if the column text could occur as a mouse hover after a little time delay

    The CEAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a medium priority requirement that should be addressed.

    We are aware of workarounds, but would like a more usable solution for the toggle.

    Background: The COMMON Europe Advisory Council (CEAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CEAC 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.

    As posted below by "umkoni" - this requirement is in functionality similar to CR_ID=98618 - However, for a more practical use I would prefer a toggle menu at runtime - rather than a configuration in the JDBC driver

    Also consider 3rd toggle option of Column Heading.

    Column name can be cryptic .
    Column text can be very wide.
    CoLHdg is just right.
