Hello pundits

Need help with the following:

Some years ago (was it ten?) I've created an MQT
to "union" customers from several disparate applications on the i
so a web application may select one regardless of it's original application.
it goes as follows:

CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE URPS/CUSTS_V1MQ AS
select 'a' as type, custn as custno, name from custs_app1
union
select 'b' as type, customer as custno, name from custs_app2
union
select 'c' as type, cust as custno, name from custs_app3
etc..

DATA INITIALLY IMMEDIATE
REFRESH DEFERRED
MAINTAINED BY USER

I tried REFRESH IMMEDIATE then but found it's not supported on the i (it
was iseries or AS/400 then) so I had the web app issue a REFRESH TABLE
first.

(My intention was building a LF over the MQT keyed by type and custno)

I've asked (at the time) a helpful IBM guy if REFRESH IMMEDIATE will be
supported in the future (RFE?) and was discouraged.

Does any of you know if REFRESH IMMEDIATE is now supported?
is there an open RFE ?

TIA
Gad

Oh, and what MAINTAINED BY SYSTEM means?
