Allow complete acces path in optimization hint (like db2 for ZOS)

We have the same cobol application that on both z/os and luw.
We are using static sql in packages. We run 12 schemas using the same sets of tables in each for manual application parallelism.
Occasionally a package for a given schema will flip access paths when bound/rebound and in the case for which I raised this pmr, it took hours instead of seconds.
For LUW there are only a limited number of things we can do - reopt once, hacking stats etc, none of which is ideal or always solve the problem.
For db2 for Z/os we can take an access path previously used from the plan table (or one currently being used in a defferent schema) and use this to tell the optimizer what to do (we have been doing this for 10 years and it so far has always solved the problem).
We do not have this facility for LUW which causes us problems.
What I would like to be able to do is generate the complete access path in xml format and be able to use this as input as an optimization guideline. At the moment you can only pass very limited guidelines which are not much use for complex sql statements - which mimics the funtionality of Oracle but not DB2 for zos.
