Possibility to show source program of ALIAS member

In our existing AD version (eg; 6.0.1.x) when cobol program has static assembler call, then search pattern is made towards the actual name of 'assembler program'. Suppose assembler program is not found, then it is considered as 'missing program'. But there is also a possibility that assembler program is of alias entry with different name. This way AD search pattern could be improved for both actual sources and the alias entries pointing to different names. Registering this idea in IBM forum to improve this feature in the upcoming AD releases. Pls refer the below example; Eg: (Current Scenario) pgm1(cobol) calls pgm2(assembler program) Result : pgm2 source is not found/missing in AD client. Eg:(Expected Scenario) pgm1(cobol) calls pgm2(assembler program registered as different alias entry name 'pgmx' in SCM config file via linkage editor.) Result : pgm2 is shown in AD client(ie, source code of pgm2 must be picked/referred from different alias entry 'pgmx' )
