This was fixed with 9.6.0.12
What's funny is that in the 8.5 version of RDI the outline correctly recognizes left hand indicators.
I have currently 9.6.0.10 and 8.5 installed and tested on both versions, so this functionality was actually removed for some reason.
I think it's not correct to call this a "feature to implement"; it's rather a bug that was introduced somewhere between 8.5 and 9.6, since it has literally no downsides at all. I too think it should have a higher priority.
Do you think you could give this a high priority including in the next release?
Yesterday I was close repeating the error I reported below on 9 Jan 2019.
The CEAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a “nice to have” LOW priority feature.
Background: The COMMON Europe Advisory Council (CEAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CEAC has a crucial role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community and has therefore reviewed your RFE.
To find out how CEAC help to shape the future of IBM i, see CEAC @ ibm.biz/BdYSYj and the article "The Five Hottest IBM i RFEs Of The Quarter" at ibm.biz/BdYSZT

Same problem here. I'd consider this more an annoying misfunction than a lacking feature.
The priority of this RFE should be higher.
Same problem here. I'd consider this more an annoying misfunction than a lacking feature.
We have reviewed this requirement and we feel it would be a beneficial enhancement to the product. We hope to be able to add it to our development plans in the future.
I hope that this enhancement will be implemented in the next update of RDI.
I was almost creating an error when modifying some very old code the other day.
Code like this:
C DO 10 X
.
. a lot of fixed format code
.
C SETON 50 <-- according to the outline indicator 50 was not used. Why not remove the statement?
.
. even more fixed format code
.
C N50 END <-- ooops. I really hate this type of statement with the indicator to leave a loop.
Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.
