Custom SQLSTATE/MESSAGE for SIGNAL statement

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Currently it is possible with the SIGNAL statement to return a custom SQLSTATE and message.

DECLARE COUNTRY_NOT_FOUND CONDITION FOR SQLSTATE '02000';
   
DECLARE EXIT HANDLER FOR COUNTRY_NOT_FOUND
       SIGNAL SQLSTATE '75001'
       SET MESSAGE_TEXT = 'Country not found' ;


It would be nice to have a way to configure and store sqlstate/text messages. Much like MSGF
For example, setting a SQLSTATE 75001 MESSAGE = Country not found.

It will give the possibility to declare the SQLSTATE/MESSAGE in a single location and to be used in multiple procedures.
After that, the SIGNAL statement could retrieve the message text directly.
