Errors on SQL Scrapbook of Data Perspective in RBD & RDPi (Ver 8.0)

While using SQL Scrapbook in Data Perspective from RBD + RDPi (Ver 8.0) found some issues.

1. After writing a SQL statement moving the cursor into the next line and then right click the mouse and then select Execute Current Text or press Alt + S comes up with error.

2. F5 short key does not execute the current statement which does in SQL Script.

3. In the SQL Scrapbook in SQL SELECT Statement after WHERE clause by pressing Ctrl+Spacebar inelegancy does not work, it does not brings the column names whereas from the SQL Script it works fine. From SQL Script in a SQL SELECT statement after JOIN schema name/library name and then typing DOT (.) brings all the table/file names whereas it doesn't bring back in the SQL Scrapbook.

4. In a JOIN SQL statement although defining the table alias name and then ON clause alias name DOT (.) does not brings the list of columns for both in SQL Scrapbook and SQL Script. This feature will be really helpful as we don't have to type the column names for a JOIN SQL statement.

5. In the Data Perspective after connecting to a iSeries DB2 database then right click the mouse to the connection then select Properties and then select the Driver Properties option then change the Default Schema value with some valid values (existing schema name) and the press OK button. Then it asked for confirmation for reconnecting the server but on pressing the Yes button does not reconnect to the server again.

Thanks & Regards
