Expand Source to process override statements

Application is using procedures a lot. When looking for where files are used the answer sometimes is a procedure inside a Job.
AD offers 'Expand Source', which pulls in the procedure. Notation is looking very similar to same functionality on mainframe, with XX starting the procedure lines.
But overridden filenames are not shown. So when looking for the filename it can't be found.
User has to go back, find override statement and scroll down into resolved procedure again.

It would be helpful to get the additional information on the replaced files without having to go back and forth. It's not a problem for 1 override but get's difficult when there are multiple.

    IBM Application Discovery for IBM Z is a continuous delivery offering, and aims to satisfy the needs of a rapidly evolving market segment. Product strategy evolves and requirements are continuously evaluated against that strategy. This RFE has recently been reappraised against the wider product strategy and does not fall into IBMs delivery plans for the next 12 month. Whilst this RFE might be valid and we might look to deliver longer term, this RFE is being rejected at this time. You also have an opportunity to resubmit in twelve months time if you wish it to be reconsidered then.

    A preliminary evaluation of this request indicates that it is consistent with our business strategy. Further evaluation of this RFE is underway.

    Please check the provided document, 2nd topic from top.
    View expanded Source in IBM AD:, then a copy of the expanded source as it is shown in IBM AD.

    I've first shown the original JCL, then expanded AD, expanded JES, expanded CA EJCK for comparison.

    Does this clarify? If not, could you please be more specific on what development team needs in addition?

    Thank you for providing the Word document. The development team has an additional request: Could you please also provide the expanded version out of AD in order to be able to compare and get a better understanding of the requirement? Thank you for your patience and understanding.
