Add Multiple Result Tabs to Run SQL Scripts

I often need to run multiple queries in different tables to analyze and compare results. For every query I run, the existing results are cleared and the new results are displayed. I would like the results to be retained until closed. I would suggest a line of tabs in either the Lower Pain or the Separate Window (whichever the user has selected for View/Output and Messages). This would improve my use of the tool and my productivity.

    If my understanding of what you are asking is correct, I think this already exists.
    Under the "Edit" menu in Run SQL Script within "Preferences", you will find the Tab "Results". Under the section "Options" please check the box for the option "Open new results in a separate window".
    This will bring the results to a separate window and no longer in the section below the SQL statement in the same window.

    I can only hope this helps.

    Greetings, Rudi van Helvoirt

    I agree on this request.

    There is already the concept of tabs in ACS Run SQL by choosing "File" > "New" (Ctrl+N), however the result panel is the same and gets cleared regardless which tabs the SQL is executed from.

    The result panel should be part of the tabs and not get cleared if an SQL is executed from another tab.

Windows output of IACS when run a query include more output in the same windows.

when you run a query in IBM i Access Solution you can run a query and see the results, but if you execute another your first result its erase and show the new one. could be more easy if the output result you can add more windows result in the same...
