The COMMON Europe Advisory Council (CEAC) has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a high priority requirement that is important to address.
Please also see associated requests ID 112116 to further highlight the importance to users.
Background: The CEAC members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CEAC has a crucial 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.
To find out how CEAC help to shape the future of IBM i, see CEAC @ ibm.biz/BdYSYj and the article "The Five Hottest IBM i RFEs Of The Quarter" at ibm.biz/BdYSZT

The CAAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a high priority requirement that is important to be addressed because it's second nature for all SQL applications -- it is important for ACS adoption.

IBM has received this requirement and is evaluating it. A response will be provided when evaluation is complete.
If nothing else bring "SQL Assist/Prompt...F4" into the ACS SQL Scripts tool.
I start the new ACS SQL script tool then open the green screen STRSQL command and use the prompt to see my field list, text, etc.
This should all be available in the ACS SQL Scripts tool.
Attachment (Use case): Shows an example of invoking a list of columns inline by using the table name and a ".". Could be invoked using an alias as well. My example severely lacks formatting but is provided none the less for a visual. The column selected in the combo box would return the column name inline in the SQL and place the cursor at the end of the column name.
Attachment (Use case): Shows an example where all columns are shown in window on the right by highlighting and right clicking the table. (Could be invoked in any user friendly manner)
