Enhancements of Job Flow Diagram

Enhancements requests for the Job Flow Diagram, in order to align with the Program Flow Diagram:

1- When double_clik on an element of the diagram, the jcl should be automatically displayed in the Edit window with the cursor right on the selected step (similar to what is done with Program Flow diagram).
2- Program names and procedure names should be displayed in the Diagram.
3- datasets should be displayed in the diagram as they are 'critical' components to understand the structure of the jcl (as well as program and procedure names).
4- Condition codes should be displayed in the graph as sometimes jcl can have a complex structure.
Just displaying the list of steps as it is done today has no real added value.
Thanks for your understanding.
best regard

    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.

    Bonjour
    Please note that even if my request might be similar to the one raised by Mohrin, 135063 includes additional enhancements that I would like IBM to take into account. Before closing the 135063 as "duplicate", I would like to be sure that IBM developments will include both mines and Mohrin's requests.
    Can you please confirm.
