SQLCODE -413: Add an ID of Column/Host-Variable

Currently SQLCODE -413 looks like this:

DSNT408I SQLCODE = -413, ERROR:  OVERFLOW OR UNDERFLOW OCCURRED DURING NUMERIC DATA TYPE CONVERSION
DSNT418I SQLSTATE   = 22003 SQLSTATE RETURN CODE                                                   
DSNT415I SQLERRP    = DSNTZEXE SQL PROCEDURE DETECTING ERROR                                       

This example is taken from an INSERT. What's missing is an indicator or id which host-varible/parameter-marker or value is the cause for failed conversion.

Can you please add an Id that points to the bad data? If possible please add the data and the name of the target-column. But target is not always a column, I guess it can be a host-variable too, because numeric data-conversion may be triggered in many situations.

Kind regards, Rolf
