    This is a duplicate of RFE 122150 (https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=122150). Any commentary or votes should be made using that RFE.

    Hello Steve,

    With the auto save option build into Run SQL Scripts it would be a waste of the effort not to combine this with the option "undo" and "redo". So you have the option to reverse your last change or put it back in.

    Greetings Rudi.

    I am not sure I would want the users using the interactive SQL in ACS directly.

    However, this is a problem that I see and sometimes in the regular green screens sessions too. Its like the jobs get restarted and there is no history of the logs.
