Outline possibility to hide procedure constructs ie. do, select and other?

From RDz 8.5 the outline view has been enhanced greatly, including a-z ordering, hide of different parts of the outline content(includes, labels etc.) however their exists no functionality which can hide the "program structures" elements. Looking at the attachment for an example. What we would like are a button, that enables developers to hide program structures like do and select in the same ways, as for instance an include.

    This RFE is consistent with our roadmap and is being considered for delivery in the next 2 year time frame. Thanks.

    Based on the PMR 77403,010,678 I have agreed with you, that this is indeed not a duplicate of the other RFE.

    I can understand that you have made some changes based on the other RFE in order to only show do/select statements when there is a data element inside it. However I still think it
    s very important to have the ability to make a general action available which will enables hiding do/select and other "Program structure" elements like you have for data elements, includes etc.
    As it is today where a developer have to manually enter a filter for each program each time they are opening a program, is simply not a good enough solution.

    This RFE is a duplicate of another RFE. See customer RFE 33356 for current status.
