Insufficient display of a nested UP for the external program in all views

If you look at the call graph of a program in which nested subroutine (UP) are implemented, the name of the nested UPs is linked to the outer program name. The assignment of the nested UP with the external program is displayed not only in the graph but also in the graph inventory. You also get this qualified display when you start the call graph from a nested UP.
UP = The abbreviation stands for subroutine, means that this program is not called directly from an interface. Usually a service is implemented in a subroutine that can be called by other / several executable programs (so-called main programs) or other subroutines. With this procedure, redundancies are avoided and thus simplified maintenance is guaranteed.

    Thank you for taking the time to suggest an enhancement to our product. At this moment the team's focus is to address your most critical RFEs and it is not likely that this RFE will be able to be delivered within the 2 year RFE window. Please resubmit in 12-18 months for reconsideration if still valid. Again, thank you for your suggestion and continued support.

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