    The CEAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a HIGH priority requirement that is important to address. Available data types should be supported in all interfaces.

    Background: The COMMON Europe Advisory Council (CEAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CEAC has a crucial 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.

    To find out how CEAC help to shape the future of IBM i, see CEAC @ https://comeur.org/what-is-ceac/ .

    great to hear that this one is being considered! I was excited to use the new boolean type, but not being able to upload data through Data Transfer was a deal breaker. I had to change back to using a char(1) for the time being. Looking forward to more updates on this one
