Display variable length for CLP variable in RDI (mouse hover)

It will be usefull to have the field length (mouse hover) for CLP variable in RDI


Use Case:

you have to change a CLP program, you open it in RDI. You want to use a variable but you don't know the length. At this moment you have to go up to see the declaration. With the mouse hover it will be faster. (like RPG variable)

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