CLDOWNLOAD Plug-In SQL support for 'column AS header'

The SQL statement, in the CDDOWNLOAD plugin is enclosed between double quotes ("), restricting the use of the SELECT... AS... clause, to assign a different column header, limiting the scope of the statement.


Use Case:

Most of the time, when transferring data, specific column names in the header is required. If the current column header does not match or it is a result from an aggregate or function operation, it is needed to set a column header as required, e.g. select COLUMN1 as "This Column 1", COLUMN2 as "This Other Column 2"... from myLibrary.myFile. Using this syntax, the plug-in fails as it encounters double quotes as part of the string.

    The support requested is already available. When quotes need to be included within a quoted statement, they need to be escaped. For example:
    acslaunch_win-64.exe /plugin=cldownload /system= "/sql=select cusnum as \"Customers num\", lstnam as \"Last name\" from qiws/qcustcdt" /colheadings=1 /display=1

    Marking this as Delivered since the support is already available.
