Provide language sensitive editor in RDp debugger with LISTING view

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

I am opening this RFE on behalf of my customer:
Copy book files can only be viewed using the LISTING view in the debugger. However, within that view, the editor used is not language sensitive. The customer would like to see a language sensitive editor (such as LPEX editor) for the listing view as most of their source includes copy books.


Use Case:

1) Debug an RPGLE program that contains copy books.
2) When in debug session, step over to a copy book statement line.
3) Switch view from source to listing.
4) Step into the copybook file.
5) The copy book file is displayed using a text editor that is not colour sensitive (similar to what you see with the source view using the LPEX editor).
