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
  1. Post an idea.

  2. Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.

  3. Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

CLOB columns not showing in RSE>Show in Table>Data

I see that RSE>Show in Table>Data fails as well. And I think you might be right about the CLOB.
Feel free to open a PMR (or Case as it it called today) on this situation.



(For internal folks, you can find the reproducing materials in library PAYLIBF on P8ADT05)
The necessary SQL to create this is
create schema Paylibf;

create or replace table Paylibf.ng000001t (
ClassCode varchar(50) not null,
EstablishedDate varchar(10) not null,
ClassTitle varchar(300) not null,
TextField2 clob(8000) not null,
TextField3 clob(8000) not null,
TextField4 clob(8000) not null,
TextField5 clob(8000) not null,
TextField6 clob(8000) not null,
TextField7 clob(8000) not null,
SalaryMin varchar(20) not null,
SalaryMax varchar(20) not null,
BillableHours varchar(10) not null,
SalaryPaidCode varchar(20) not null,

);

    The CAAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a medium priority requirement that should be addressed. Although not very many users are likely to hit this constraint, it should not fail.

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

    For more information about CAAC, see www.common.org/caac

    Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.
