db2caem should support 'SET CURRENT QUERY OPTIMIZATION = N'

For diagnostic of Db2 performance problems the tool   db2caem   can be very helpful. Especially if a particular query plan should be compared using different optimization levels.

Using  db2caem  the optimization level must be specified by embedded optimization guidelines, the (often used) SET CURRENT QUERY OPTIMIZATION = N does not work. It raises the following error.

DBT7033E "db2caem": The db2caem utility encountered an error while processing the specified SQL statement. SQL statement: "set current query optimization = 0". Return code: "-1:4014".

It would be very helpful if   db2caem   would be able to handle 'SET CURRENT QUERY OPTIMIZATION = N' statements.

    CURRENT QUERY OPTIMIZATION, and any other special register settings that affect SQL statement compilation, can be provided using the compilation environment file that is specified with the db2caem -compenv option. That being said, I recognize that this is incredibly ugly and painful to use, so I think we should accept a general request to have db2caem accept a set of SQL statements to execute to set aspects of the compilation environment, or perform any other prerequisite processing, prior to the collection of actuals for the subject statement.
