Merged idea
This idea has been merged into another idea. To comment or vote on this idea, please visit DB24ZOS-I-1194 alternate name for special register CURRENT APPLICATION COMPATIBILITY > APPLCOMPAT.

New Alias for CURRENT APPLICATION COMPATIBILITY Merged

while many commands get useful and more efficient aliases such as:

LIMIT x alias of FETCH FIRST x ROWS ONLY

LIMIT x OFFSET y alias of OFFSET y ROWS FETCH NEXT x ROWS ONLY

is it possible to introduce a new short version of "APPLICATION COMPATIBILITY"

on a regular basis, we usually want to validate the applcompat of our system for informative purposes so we do:

SELECT CURRENT APPLICATION COMPATIBILITY FROM SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1;

or when we set the value we do:

SET CURRENT APPLICATION COMPATIBILITY = 'V12R1M504';

perhaps it is just me, but so many times I often mistype compatibility or even application plus it is just soooo long to type too!! Why can't we have a short version?
