Auto complete when using procedure wizard

When creating a procedure using the RPG procedure wizard,(the DSpec and the Java Method behave the same) auto complete does not function for the input or the output params. If I click on the defined like the defined varaiables are not available. To get around this I type in I1, I2, I3.... for input parameters and O1 for output parameters and then replace them after the code is generated.


Use Case:

Creating new procedures most of the time the parameters are already defined in a copy book and I want to use these definitions.

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