Improve the formatting of free form SQL

It would be a good idea to improve the formatting of the free form SQL.
This is the result of the formatting performed by RDi:

       exec sql
        select *
          into :dsreginv :nullinds
          from
            json_table (:jsonresponse, '$' columns (internalid char(100) path
            '$.InternalId', status char(5) path '$.Status', eic char(36) path
            '$.EIC', iic char(32) path '$.IIC', fic char(36) path '$.FIC',
            verifyinvoice char(500) path '$.VerifyInvoice', headeruuid char(36)
            path '$.Header.UUID', requestuuid char(36) path
            '$.Header.RequestUUID', senddatetime char(25) path
            '$.Header.SendDateTime', errorfaultcode char(50) path
            '$.Error.FaultCode', errorfaultstring char(500) path
            '$.Error.FaultString'));
 

This is the formatting of the same SQL statement but formatted by ACS:

SELECT *
   INTO :dsreginv :nullinds
   FROM
       JSON_TABLE(
           :jsonresponse,
           '$'
           COLUMNS(
               internalid CHAR(100) PATH '$.InternalId',
               status CHAR(5) PATH '$.Status',
               eic CHAR(36) PATH '$.EIC',
               iic CHAR(32) PATH '$.IIC',
               fic CHAR(36) PATH '$.FIC',
               verifyinvoice CHAR(500) PATH '$.VerifyInvoice',
               headeruuid CHAR(36) PATH '$.Header.UUID',
               requestuuid CHAR(36) PATH '$.Header.RequestUUID',
               senddatetime CHAR(25) PATH '$.Header.SendDateTime',
               errorfaultcode CHAR(50) PATH '$.Error.FaultCode',
               errorfaultstring CHAR(500) PATH '$.Error.FaultString'
           )
       );                     

 

Much more readable!

    Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.
