SQLJ Add support for use of Java Array in IN predicate

We would like to see support of Java type ARRAY for IN-LISTs.

The use case would look like:

SqljCtx sqljCtx = getSqljCtx();
Array fkpzOfflKtoIdsArray = sqljCtx.getConnection().createArrayOf("TIMESTAMP", fkpzOfflKtoIds);

FremdkontoOfflineIterator iter = null;
#sql [sqljCtx] iter = {
SELECT
FK.INR
, FK.VERTRAGS_ID
, ...
, CHAR(FK.FKPZ_OFFL_KTO_ID)
FROM FKP_OFFL_KTO FK
WHERE FK.FKPZ_OFFL_KTO_ID IN(:(fkpzOfflKtoIdsArray))
FOR FETCH ONLY
QUERYNO 21
};
return iter;

Actually this is not supported for IN predicates and brings SQLCODE -84.

com.ibm.db2.jcc.am.SqlSyntaxErrorException: DB2 SQL Error: SQLCODE=-84, SQLSTATE=42612, SQLERRMC=null, DRIVER=4.29.29

at com.ibm.db2.jcc.am.b7.a(b7.java:810) ~[db2jcc4.jar:?]

...


Workaround in the moment is to declare a global temporary table, insert all elements of the array into this table and work with

WHERE FK.FKPZ_OFFL_KTO_ID IN (SELECT ARRAY_ELEMENT FROM TEMP.ARRAY_TABLE)

Support of the Java type ARRAY for IN predicates would shorten SQLJ programs considerably and would reduce the error rate during programming.

We think, this is a frequently used programming situation.
