Sigh.....

When we added the code to display the host variables instead of '?' a l=
ot
of customers considered it to be a security violation because anyone co=
uld
see what the actual data was that was being used to populate the table.=
(I
could see what your salary was set to. ) So we felt that we needed to
tighten up the display of the onstat -g sql just a bit.

I fully agree, however, the only thing that needed to be restricted was=
the
display of the host variables, not the entire onstat -g sql output.

And yes - it is foolish to lock down onstat when the same information c=
an
be obtained from sysmaster.

Hi all...

I just installed the above release...once my development team started

contacted IBM support and they verified that this is how the command sh=

now behave...also told me they had a bunch of "feature" request to put =
it
back. They made the change for security reasons...there work around wa=
s to
write a SPL to get the data out of the sysmaster tables...which of cour=
se
can be done easily enough...Here's my question though...has anyone come=
up
with a work around the security...my developers want to see it the way =
it
"used" to be...

Thanks for any help!
