Enhance output from DSECT Command

To enhance the user experience in Fault Analyzer we are defining some common application storage areas as DSECTs in order to use these descriptions with FA's DSECT command.
Currently FA shows the mapped data only in hexa decimal format.
I suggest that DSECT will honor the type and the type extension of in our DSECTs: DS C should be presented as EBCDIC character data, DS X should be shown as hexa decimal ( as today). Packed decimal and fixed point binary and floating point data should show numerical editied (DS F or DS E) and so on.
It will be nice if type extensions like DS CA or ED or ED will also be supported accordingly.
