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).

Support edit codes 5-9 in Screen Designer

We use edit code 8 and 9 for period and date formatiing.
In SDA and CODE Designer, these user defined edit code are properly supported and show the actual space the field will take.
In Screen Designer, the field is shorter than what will be actually used at run time making us believe that there is space available when there is not.


Use Case:

Allows to align fields properly

    Thank you for taking the time to suggest an enhancement to our product. Many of our product enhancements result from feedback from our customers, so your input is always very important to us. We do not have plans to address your request over the next 18 months due to limited time and many competing priorities, but may consider it at a later time.
    If after 18 months, this continues to be important for you business needs, please feel free to resubmit for reconsideration during an appropriate planning cycle.
    Again, thank you for your suggestion and continued support!
