RELATED IDEAS

ACS - Schemas - provide for re-ordering of all columns in a table and views.

Please provide additional functionality to allow us to reorder any field/column on a table/view.


As modernization happens or while developing new applications, new fields and keys are added and we do need to reorganize the sequence in which fields are position in the table.


Currently, this can only be done to fields that are being added.


We need to be able to re-arrange the columns as needed.


The amount of work required especially on files with many fields is laborious.


TIA.

    The CAAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a medium priority requirement that should be addressed. Although there are alternatives, such as SQL, there are people that would like to add a new field using the GUI and would like to be able to reorder the fields. Adding this capability may also help with new folks coming on to the system and learning how to use schemas.


    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.
