Include OBJATTRIBUTE in resultSet from OBJECT_STATISTICS when object name is *ALLSIMPLE

If possible and without impacting performance, please include the OBJATTRIBUTE column with the results when OBJECT_STATISTICS is generating the fast list of objects due to *ALLSIMPLE being specified on the 3rd (object name) parameter.


Use Case:

Need to filter the object list by Object Attribute. For example, OBJECT_STATISTICS('MYLIB','*FILE','*ALLSIMPLE')
WHERE objAttribute like 'PF%';

Since the object attribute may be accessible without impacting performance (I'm assuming here) please include it along with the name, type and library results.

    I feel like Ralphie in A Christmas Story after he reveals his Ovaltine "secret message".

    Unfortunately, the object attribute is not available through the fast interface. Only the information currently returned for an *ALLSIMPLE request can be accessed. Everything else requires touching the object. Since we have no way to satisfy this request without hurting performatnce, this request is being closed.
