ACS - add Source File open/save same as Client Access for Windows

In Run SQL Scripts of Client Access, you could open, save, save-as to/from IBM i Source PF as well as PC-based *.SQL files. In ACS, it appears that this function was omitted. Please add this function so developer can save versions of SQL scripts, DDL, DML logic to Host Source files.


Use Case:

I create several tables, constraints, index and several views. Would like to keep this source on Host. In some cases, Large SQL code for objects is NOT saved internally on created object, so saving source to MBR is essential in that case and convenient in other cases.

    This support is available in ACS 1.1.8.3 and higher. You can now save to PC, IFS, or physical files.
