GENERATE_SQL_OBJECTS() procedure IFS support enhancement

It would be very helpful if the generated SQL scripts could be generated as streamfile in the IFS. The scripts in the source physical file are not so easy to handle and read because our generated scripts are very extensive.
At the moment we save our scripts via the iNavigator and save the scripts in the IFS manually - with an extension we could automate this task.


Use Case:

Automation of the daily backup task

    This enhancement was delivered in spring 2021 with IBM i 7.4 PTF Group level 13 and IBM i 7.3 PTF Group level 24.

    The GENERATE_SQL_OBJECTS procedure has been extended to allow the result to be written to an IFS source stream file.

    there exists a sql procedure to generate the source of sql objects.
    (see https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/ssw_ibm_i_72/rzajq/rzajqprocgensql.htm)

    using CPYTOSTMF you can store the SRCDTA in a streamfile in ifs.
    only a small CL PGM or SQL PROC is needed.
