Add column and filter for the job's current user to JOB_INFO

I need a way to get the job date from an SQL session so that I can test SQL statements as they might have run in the past using only SQL features.

JOB_INFO UDTF only returns job information for the connection user not the current user as is needed for service jobs.


Use Case:

"select JOB_DATE from table(QSYS2.JOB_INFO( JOB_CURRENT_USER_FILTER => CURRENT_USER)) A where A.JOB_NAME = QSYS2.JOB_NAME;"

    IBM does not intend to provide a solution to this request at this time, so it is being closed.

    Implementing this request is not possible architecturally. The current user value is scoped to a thread, not a job, so returning a single value for a job would not be predictable.
