Problem with special characters in IBM i Access Client Solution ACS run sql script

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

I found a problem with the content assist function in the Run Sql Script module of the ACS product.
If the library or object has one of the following characters ($ £ §), auto-completion will not work.
Problem 1) No message is output with the $ character.
Problem 2) With the other two it reports "SQL invalid".

For the first problem I found the cause in the com.ibm.ibmi.dbinfoString.QueryBuilder class
Calling the String.replaceAll function does not work correctly with the $ character.
From the Java documentation (Note that backslashes (\) and dollar signs ($) in thereplacement string may cause the results to be different than if it werebeing treated as a literal replacement string)

For problem 2 I found the cause in the isSpecialCharacter function of the class com.ibm.ibmi.sql.parser.impl.StringSqlLexer, where the § and £ characters are missing.

Problem 2 also causes errors in the SQL formatting function


Use Case:
