Could it be when running it with ACS a temporary Index (MTI) was created ...
which can be (very) time consuming. But then it can be used from everywhere.
So when you run the query from STRSQL the MTI was created and could be used.
You may run your query through visual explain and then check if there is a
MTI used. ... if so it would be a good idea to create this index
permanently.
As an aside when running IPL all MTIs are deleted, so next time the are
needed they have to be (re)created.
... and may be not only a single index was missing.

Subject: DB2 Views issue
I have a complicated set of SQL views used by DB2 Web Query reports (and
other jobs)... last week I changed the where clause on a view called
V_INVOICES.
I did this by
1. Using ACS to Generate the SQL
2. Changing the "where" from WHERE IHYER# >= (YEAR(CURRENT TIMESTAMP) -
3) AND IHREL# <> 0) to WHERE IHREL# <> 0)
IHYER# is a numeric representation of the year... like 2021
This view is referenced within another view, V_ORDERSA using a UNION.
I ran the report I needed, then changed the V_INVOICES where clause back to
it's original.
Long story... but, the response times on using V_INVOICES is now ridiculous.
Reports over the V_ORDERSA will not complete.
If I use RUNSQL Scripts or STRSQL on the green screen, the same is true...
STRSQL reports hundreds of millions of records read.
On top of that... we IPL'd Thursday morning and upgraded from 7.3 to 7.5
over the weekend (this issue was occurring last week as well).
No idea where to start.
TIA,
Greg
