Using source member name as job name during compilation using RDi

When I compile a program using PDM option 14, when I receive the break message, the name of the job is the source member name (ie - compiling member BLAH). I'll get a break message

JOB 123456/MYUSERID/BLAH Completed normally on xx/xx/xx at hh:mm:ss.

When I compile within RDi, when I receive the break message, the JOB DESCRIPTION appears instead of the member name. So
JOB 123456/MYUSERID/MYJOBD Completed normally on xx/xx/xx at hh:mm:ss

Can this be adjusted so it behaves the same as option 14 within PDM?


Use Case:

When submitting multiple compilations, makes it easier to identify which jobs have completed - especially if they completed abnormally.

Also easier to identify a job when looking at submitted jobs utilizing WRKSBMJOB

    Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.
