IDz DBB user build discovers dependencies only for COBOL and PLI

IDz tool will not auto select the Maclib (copybook library) for ALC modules when trying to run the DBB user build wizard setup. We have to manually select it each time to start the DBB configuration. (Works for cobol but no for ALC)

It would be advantageous if the COBOL Diff (compare with - each other) would distinguish case differences in places where they don't make a difference vs where they do make a difference.Example: * "MOVE" vs "move" does not make a difference at run...

Code folding in Cobol Editor

Provide code folding feature in the cobol editor. This means there is an ability to hide from view all the statements between an IF and its matching END-IF or ELSE as the case maybe. Also could apply to EVALUATE/WHEN.
