The Outline view for COBOL has been enhanced to be easier to read and navigate, with icons, a hierarchical, expandable/collapsable view of data declaration, sort actions, and filter actions.
Thank you for taking the time to suggest this enhancement to our product.

As part of this I would like to see automatic highlighting in the outline of where in the program you are according to the current line you are on in the source. For example, if you have filtered your source on a date, because you want to apply similar changes to another program, by clicking on a filtered line of source if it somehow highlighted the previous label in the outline I would know where to position to in the other program. This is just one example of many uses I have for this.
This RFE is consistent with our strategy and product roadmap and will be under consideration for a future release. Status has been updated to Uncommitted Candidate.
This RFE is consistent with our strategy and product roadmap and IBM is continuing to evaluate.
