SQL to DLI call translation view in hex

I'd like to ask for a product enhancement. On the “SQL to DL/I Call Translation” can you show the hex values? When someone is doing an insert or delete with a partially qualified key you can't tell if the SSA is using blanks or low values. I also don't know where that is controled. I'd like to see what is actually happening.
Thank you

    Dear Lynn Hall:

    Thank you for submitting this IMS enhancement request.
    After giving the request a comprehensive review, we have determined that we cannot include it as a candidate in an upcoming release because it is not consistent with our product direction.
    You can view hex values in the JDBC logs. To find out how to enable logging and tracing, please see this link: https://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEPH2_13.1.0/com.ibm.ims13.doc.apg/ims_odbdli4jtracing.htm

    As a consequence we have, unfortunately, rejected this request.

    We appreciate your input to the IMS development team. We also hope that you will continue to submit ideas for improvements as customer feedback is a key component to shaping the future direction of IMS.

    Sincerely,
    Poonam Chitale

    The hex values for the SSAList can be viewed directly in the JDBC logs. Logging can easily be enabled through the driver connection properties panel in the IMS Explorer for Development.
