    The CEAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a /nice to have" low priority feature.

    It would take a lot of work to implment this for past enahncements - however they suggested to to consider this idea for future changes / enhancements.

    This is a nice to have, but there is Information available elsewhere (such as the IBM i SQL services page)
