E-SQR: Can You Add A Hint To A SELECT DISTINCT SQL Statement In SQR? (Doc ID 638198.1)

Goal

Poor performance is observed in a particular SQR and so a sql hint is needed.

The hint must be the first thing after the select or the hint is ignored. However, the SQR is considering the distinct as a column in the example below and seems to be stipulating that the distinct be the first thing after the select.

Begin-SELECT
/*+ INDEX (HDR_ORIG IQTEST_MCHDR) INDEX (ITM PSDITEM) USE_HASH (PAYITM) */
DISTINCT
HDR.CUST_ID

Is it possible to add a hint to an SQR?
