RDI: Outline should show array definitions

I'm working with a project where a lot of arrays are used. Some of them are data structures, other are fields. But when using the outline you have to know how it is defined in order to have the outline showing you where it is used.

I would like a new type called Arrays in the outline and it should be put between the Data Structures and the Fields definition.

Thus it is easy to find the definitions myArray1 and myArray2 defined as

DCL-DS myArray1 dim(10) qualified;
field1 zoned(5);
field2 zoned(5);
ENDDS;

DCL-S myArray2 dim(10) zoned(10);

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