alternate name for special register CURRENT APPLICATION COMPATIBILITY > APPLCOMPAT

is it possible to introduce alternate name or short version of "CURRENT 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?

I feel there is precedence in DB2 because you have recently introduced more and more alternate syntax for other SQL ... and some of these alternate syntax make life easier too. Such as

LIMIT X instead of FETCH FIRST X ROWS ONLY

LIMIT X OFFSET Y instead of OFFSET Y ROWS FETCH NEXT X ROWS ONLY

the intent of this RFE is not for IBM to spend lots of effort to add this enhancement. But it seems low effort (to me) and I think a surprising number of people would appreciate this enhancement!
