IBM Power Ideas Portal
This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Power Systems products, including IBM i. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).
Shape the future of IBM!
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Search existing ideas
Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,
Post your ideas
Post an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.
Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.
Specific links you will want to bookmark for future use
Welcome to the IBM Ideas Portal (https://www.ibm.com/ideas) - Use this site to find out additional information and details about the IBM Ideas process and statuses.
IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com) - Use this site to view all of your ideas, create new ideas for any IBM product, or search for ideas across all of IBM.
ideasibm@us.ibm.com - Use this email to suggest enhancements to the Ideas process or request help from IBM for submitting your Ideas.
The case with customer number is a reasonable exception. How about prompting all values, but preloading the previous values in the parameters? That is already a requested idea. If that is not possible, perhaps all variables with the same name could be populated with the same value.
We understand the request and will consider it for a future update though no commitment is made nor implied.

The attached image of the parameter prompt dialog lacks the context of the SQL statement.
Not knowing the specific use case, if one were to assume the following as the source SQL, it would seem to be necessary to prompt for each instance of cusno.
select * from orders
where cusno <> ? -- 1500
and cusno > ? -- 1000
and cusno < ? -- 2000
and date = ? -- current_date
Please explain the desired behavior for the case where the same value would be provided for each instance.
