FIELDPROC - Missing record informations

Field procedures need a possibility to get field values beside the current field in the same record.
So there should be additional parameters for the field procedures like a pointer to the current record or, if not possible the current record number so the procedure could load the current record if necessary.
The current lib/file name and field name would be interesting too.


Use Case:

If a field has to be masked or not should not only depend on the current user but also on field values of the current record like e.g. customer number or adviser or something else which cannot be determined by the current field.

    IBM does not intend to provide a solution to this request at this time, so it is being closed. The database team has a long list of higher priority requirements, so this request is unlikely to be implemented.
