Actually members may make a comeback. In DB parlance they are called 'partitions'.
IBM has announced that they no longer want the first born male child of everyone in your village in order to get DB2 Multisystem. It's going to be no charge. This will allow you to use the PARTITION BY clause on CREATE TABLE. For example, if you want to partition your history table by year. Or some other method of partitioning if you are approaching partition row limits.
You don't need multiple systems. But the multisystem part is nice if you want to partition by warehouse and have each partition reside on the IBM i closest to that warehouse.
With the number of transactions in the temporal history tables partitioning has been included in many of the samples given for using temporal tables.
The trick is to use the PARTITION BY in order to assign the membering.
Although I've not played with RLA instead of SQL to see how RPG RLA handles this.

If I get some time I may play with that.
