JavaScript calls to http URLs that supply data.
A non-SQL capability: A JavaScript defined table can be created and will reside in the QMF table lists. When
queried it will launch a request and return data in a typical result set. This data is available for any QMF
report or visualization.
To understand how it works look at this DB2 query. It creates at table, populates it with a select statement,
queries the table and then drops the table.
