RDz File Manager DB2 plugin: adding a setting to inactivate 'DB2 editor option' & 'Add query' case sensitivity.

Since DB2 objects like Table names, Database names...etc. are not case sensitive, the input in File manager plugin should not differentiate lower and uppercase. Why 'QUA.customer' could be a different DB2 table than QUA.CUSTOMER for exemple.
Users, (especially mainframe users), who are not aware think the plugin is wrong when responding QUA.customer table not found. All the more the same tool (File Manager DB2) under TSO does not give the same answer and works properly.
Where does this occurs: 'DB2 editor option', 'Add query' for exemple.
