    Hello Walter, Our Db2 for z/OS engineer concluded that this requirement did not elaborate why those new columns are needed. We suspect PLAN_TABLE is not the right place to add those requested new columns. While we view all the enhancement requests we receive as valuable and we would like to implement all of them, in an effort to have maximum transparency we are not considering the ones that aren’t currently appearing on our 12 month product roadmap. This is not to say that these enhancements may not still be implemented at some point in the future as we do evaluate our requirements on the basis of customer demand and technical impact, to deliver maximum value to our customers.

    We appreciate your input to the Db2 for z/OS development team. And we hope that you will continue to submit enhancement suggestions for improvements as customer feedback is a key component to shaping the future direction of Db2 for z/OS.

    Sincerely,

    The Db2 for z/OS Team

    Hello Walter, Our Db2 for z/OS engineer plans to gather information on how the proposed new column/value will be used. While we await the conclusion of said investigation, this idea will be a low priority.

    Sincerely,
