Dataset reports, Dataset flow graph need to show the relationships between datasets when read and write is done through HOGAN

Currently the Dataset reports and Dataset flow graph is unable to show the relationships between dataset when the read and write is performed through Hogan activities. It is important for this feature to be enabled when read and write is performed through Hogan activities.

    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. We feel this is a valid requirement but delivery within the RFE 2 year window is not likely. Please resubmit in 12-18 months for reconsideration if still valid. Again, thank you for your suggestion and continued support.

    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 are evaluating if it can be delivered within the next 18 months based on other priorities and other enhancement requests.

    There is another case TS005279992 which is similar to this. I was advised by IBM to edit this RFE to include the use case under the case mentioned. I do not see an option to edit the RFE and hence I am adding the details in the comments. The issue is:
    "Dataset record structure report does not show the structure of the file when the file is used in Hogan programs, whereas it shows the structure of files used in non Hogan programs."

    The programs in question is already been provided in the case number TS005279992.

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