    It's not me that feel that a "/" is preferable to a ".", it's written in knowledge center : https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/ssw_ibm_i_73/cl/strsql.htm#STRSQL.NAMING.
    In *SYS naming the delimiter is "/" and in *SQL naming the delimiter is ".".
    It has always been the case.

    IBM would like to know more about why you feel that a "/" is preferable to a "." as a delimiter.
