    If an indicator is nested in a data structure, the indicator does not display in the indicator section of the outline, but rather in the DS section. Should these not appear under the indicators _as well_? As an example, we have Infor's System21 installed throughout the group and these are 99% all old programs written 25+ years ago. In many of the programs, when we need to make a mod to a display program, the first thing we look at is the indicator usage. Now we have to refer to 2 different places and check for both.

    All methods of referencing indicators should be recognized in the Outline view.
