Assembler Macro expansion feature

We are told that IBM is working on a Macro expansion feature and that this will be available in a future AD release.
We do not have any visibility of this future release so we are raising a RFE to track.

AD works fine with assembler INCLUDES but not with assembler MACROS.

1) Macro variables do not show up in usage reports
2) No Macro option within Explore Project resource type drop down list

Idea priority High

    Thank you for taking the time to suggest an enhancement to our product. Many of our product enhancements result from feedback from our customers, so your input is always very important to us. Your request is currently in line with our product strategy and we have planned it for a future release of the product. Thank you for your suggestion and continued support.
