Recognize fields renamed in RPG I-specs in RDi live outline

Currently RDi doesn't recognize renames of fields in RPG I-specs. For example, in the code below, the outline fails to recognize p3srvl as a defined field, and all functions dependent on it do not function. Please consider enabling the live outline to recognize these renames.

* -------------
* RENAME FIELDS
* -------------
Ippr031s
I p4srvl p3srvl


Use Case:

This would enable all the functions available for field names recognized by the live outline.

    This feature was delivered in version 9.6.
    ILE RPG Fields that are renamed by externally-described I-Specs are now fully supported.

    The feature that is described in this request is a candidate for a future release.

    I am trying to reproduce the scenario with:
    dcl-f cust1 disk;
    * -------------
    * RENAME FIELDS
    * -------------
    Icustom01
    I CUSTNO CustNumber

    I see in the outline view that
    CUSTNO under the cust1 file has a INTFLD(CustNumber) showing what it is renamed to
    and under fields I see
    CustNumber with a reference to line 6 where it was renamed
    and no CUSTNO field (since it is not in the RPG name space)

    So what is the problem here? This looks fully supported.

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