IBM Debug: Search function for program literals to add to Monitor

Hello IBM,
we like to have a functionality that was found in Xpediter:

When you want to add a variable/literal to the Monitors view "Monitor Expression" and you're not 100% sure how it's call, you should have the option to search for the name of the variable/literal.

    1. YES Monitors view, NO to Filters (like in Variables view) but a search over all existing variables within the current program source.
    2. COBOL, but I'd like this also for PL/1
    3. The FIND function in Variables view does only filter currently displayed variables. We want to search/filter over ALL variables in the program source.

    Just to add it: The FIND function might be extended to search everywhere (and in Monitors view of course) but it's accessibility is also bad as you need to use the right-mouse context menu.

    The "+" function in Monitors view would be the best location - Just extend it with a search function. This would be the easiest way to use it and is very close to Xpediter.

    Thanks
    Michael
