LKEY and TT for other table types

Please update the LKEY and TT commands to work with all table types (not aliases and views but should include regular tables like archive, history, and MQT, etc.) Also, TT should be displayed on first search screen. Refer to case TS003373784

Tool needs to have memory of the object searched

If I go into view the catalog object. Let's say environment UNIT for table XYZ then back out to switch environments the tool should remember what I searched on last. Or even better be able to switch Db2 groups on the search panel and not have to g...

DROP Aliases listed with a single DROP command

Hello IBM In Panel ADB21A you can list ALIASES and there are some line commands. One of them is DROP. In some cases our DBA would need to drop a whole bunch of ALIASES at a time. And it is quite uncomfortable to acknowledge all of DROP one by ...
