Enhance File Manager Enhance File Manager for DB2 XML column data type Displays & Edits

Enhance File Manager Providing capability to Display XML column data type Display & Edit from DB2 v9 forward;
There are many hits on IBM's site regarding XML. We have both File Manager v11.1 in Production and File Manager v12.1 in Test.
Neither have the aforementioned capability; whereas FileAid at it's earliest stages does.

We are looking for this capability to be provided at Bank of America.
