RDI: Outline should show length and number of decimals for fields defined with REFFLD()

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

When editing DSPF, PRTF and Physical files where the field is defined using the REFFLD keyword, the outline just shows the field that is used in the REFFLD keyword. It would be a great help if it could show the length and number of decimals of the referenced field.


For example if a field is defined like this:

MYFLD REFFLD(MYREFFLD)

In the outline you can only see that MYFLD is defined using REFFLD for MYREFFLD.


It would be nice if the dimension of MYREFFLD is shown too.
for example (30) or (9,2) for text or numeric fields.

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