IDz File Manager SQL console SELECT Check for excessive data transfer from host

There is no check on the size of a result set, or blocking of results from executing a SELECT statement. I can execute a SELECT that returns > 25,000 rows. Other parts of IDZ (e.g. JES spool display and even displaying member lists) issue warnings if a large amount of data would be transferred from the host.
The behaviour should be configurable. Some clients might not want to prevent large select statements, whereas others would want the opportunity to interrupt a long-running query. I think that the client should be able to configure the maximum bytes to be returned on a query (maybe 0, the default, would mean no limit), and also to configure the behaviour when the byte limit is reached - e.g. Terminate or Prompt to Continue.
