PAW: Greyed cells (by security) makes the scroll bar difficult to see

When a user don’t have write access, the cells are greyed (which is a very useful indicator). However that shade of grey is very close to the one used for the scrolling bars. Would it be possible to make the grey of the cells a bit lighter (prefer...

PAW: Ability to Move/Copy more than one object at a time

Native UTF-8 Support in Db2 DSNxLI Interfaces

We have some issues with customer's name, as we don't have this special characters in our codepage. So we try to use UTF-8 on the mainframe (as the data is coming raw in as UTF-8). PL/I and COBOL newly supports native UTF-8: COBOL: PIC U, PL/I: UC...
