I'm pretty sure this is not supported.

Please take a look at Creating Reports With WebFOCUS Language > Using SQL to Create Reports > Supported and Unsupported SQL Statements.

INNER JOIN TBL_PART_BOM C
ON A.ENDITEM = C.PARTNUMBER
WHERE C.TYPE = 'PP'
AND C.PARTNUMBER IN (SELECT DISTINCT T.ENDITEM FROM TBL_BOM_EXPLODE T, TBL_BOM_EXPLODE Q WHERE T.PARTNUMBER <> Q.ENDITEM )

CONNECT BY/START WITH is an Oracle-specific feature that implements recursive (circular) joins and, as far as I know, is not part of ANSI SQL, so unless your iWay adapter is set to Oracle (SQLORA), that feature would not be supported by WebFOCUS as standard SQL.

Using SQL pass-thru against an Oracle database does work.

SQL SQLORA
with emp as (
select 1 employee, null manager, 'CEO' position from dual union all
select 2 employee, 1 manager, 'Director 1' position from dual union all
select 3 employee, 1 manager, 'Director 2' position from dual union all
select 4 employee, 2 manager, 'Manager 1' position from dual union all
select 5 employee, 4 manager, 'Developer 1' position from dual union all
select 6 employee, 4 manager, 'Developer 2' position from dual union all
select 7 employee, 4 manager, 'Developer 3' position from dual union all
select 8 employee, 3 manager, 'Manager 2' position from dual union all
select 9 employee, 8 manager, 'Developer 4' position from dual union all
select 10 employee, 8 manager, 'Developer 5' position from dual
) 
select rpad('_',2*(level-1),'_') || emp.position as "position_tree"
  from emp
connect by prior employee = manager
start with manager is null
;
TABLE FILE SQLOUT
PRINT *
END
