    The CAAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a medium priority requirement that should be addressed. F4 should prompt like a SQL statement, similar to Run SQL Scripts.

    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

    We have reviewed this requirement and we feel it would be a beneficial enhancement to the product. We hope to be able to add it to our development plans in the future.

    The message thread at:

    and

    would be a very beneficial implementation of this RFE.

    Just make certain it supports RPGLE, CBLLE, and probably CLE, too.
