COBOL Sql Query Builder with additional logic included

We need the Query Builder in Rdz to be able to build COBOL SQL Syntax with the following capabilities:
1. To be able to surround SQL with EXEC SQL ? END-EXEC
2. To be able to attach Evaluate snippets/templates (Supplied by the user/client)
3. To be able to generate COBOL CURSOR structures with DECLARE, OPEN, FETCH, CLOSE
4. The Correlation naming standard should be flexible (ie a subset of the tablenames or just taken from the SQL at hand)
5. Be able to handle Host Variables with COBOL naming rules such as _ being translated into -.
6. To be callable from the RDz Cobol Editor
7. The Query builder have to support Modern JOIN syntax, which includes the ability to produce Outerjoin results.
8. RDz's COBOL Editor should recognize EXEC SQL statements as well and be able to flag these as well
9. It should be possible to execute SQL directly from the COBOL Editor ie via Data Studio who has to be able to recognize and handle Host-variables correctly.

A full functional working example can be provided (developed for another platform)

    Thank you for taking the time to suggest an enhancement to our product. Many of our product enhancements result from feedback from our customers, so your input is always very important to us; However, your request for enhancement is not currently aligned with our product strategy and vision and we have no plans to address your request in the near future. Again, thank you for your suggestion and continued support.
