In Hourglass, provide support for Native Stored Procedures, DB2 Triggers, Java and
DB2 UDF's (User Defined Functions). Also this is a additional request.

IF WS-GEN-FIXED NOT = 'Y'
MOVE FUNCTION CURRENT-DATE TO WS-SYSTEM-DATE-TIME
ELSE
MOVE 20090410 TO WSDT-DATE
MOVE 08080808 TO WSDT-TIME

Hourglass ignores the function part of the above statement.

    Whilst this requirement is valid, based on our current plans and priorities, it is not likely that this could be implemented in the next 12 months. Correspondingly this requirement is being declined at this point. The requirement will be kept in the RFE system and might be reassessed in the future. You also have an opportunity to resubmit in twelve months time if you wish it to be reconsidered then.
    HourGlass V7.1 does provide Java support.

    This RFE will focus on the DB2 Stored Procedures.  The other requests will be opened in separate RFE's if still needed.
    DB2 Stored Procedures is in plan for a future release.
