    The CAAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a high priority requirement that is important to be addressed. In most business cases, one would be doing multi-row updates, so this support is definitely needed.

    Background: The COMMON Americas Advisory Council (CAAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CAAC has a key role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community, and has therefore reviewed your RFE.

    For more information about CAAC, see www.common.org/caac

    Hi Markus
    Thank you for your suggestion!
    Yes, I have tried with the Array square brackets, but with no luck. Then I wrote to Nadir Amra (IBM) and got the answer "Multi-row updates are not supported" and he advised me to open an RFE.

    Greetings
    Johnny
