Possibility of adding a zOS Cobol directory with asynchronous command

From asynchronous commands, it would be possible to add both the zOS Cobol and IDMS Cobol directories during Build Configuration. As it's possible to do when creating a project in the Build Client.

    Apologies are in order, there was a communication mixup and this RFE was marked as delivered by mistake. I have confirmed with development that it will be delivered very soon, but it is not currently available in 5.1.0.5.

    Application Discovery now allows both zOS Cobol and Cobol IDMS folders to be present as soon as the project is created.
