ACS - Run SQL window in tabs

Currently, in ACS run SQL, is only one window whre you can run your sql statements.
It would be more comfortable if there are more windows, grouped in tabs, where you can run your sql scripts.
similar as 5250 display session, there you can have more sessions open grouped in tabs.

    Thank you for submitting your Request For Enhancement. After evaluating this request, we are planning to implement a different approach than what you have requested, so this enhancement is being declined.

    IBM understands this request and will consider it for a future code update, though no commitment is made or implied.

    Would be nice that it reopens files as Notepad++ does.

    I favor the idea of tabs, like 5250 has but incase...

    Run SQL Scripts can be open more than one window. The easiest way to achieve this in Windows is to create a short cut to the /PLUGNI=RSS, pin this to the task bar, then (if in Windows 7 or higher) Shift click to open additional copy.

    Another option is to create a blank .SQL file then double click to open (this assumes you have spent the time to learn that you can associate .SQL with ACS Run SQL Scripts).
