RDz Software Analyzer Enhancements

In Software Analyzer Results under COBOL or PL/I Review tabs, provide ability to:
1. Hover or right-click over violation
2. Display a detailed description of the rule
3. Display "Bad Coding Example"
4. Display "Good Coding Example"

Also on a side note, generate statistics on code complexity. Not violations per se, but overall health check analysis that can exported to xml and consumed by daskboarding software. This is similar to PMD analyzing the code and allowing Sonar to consume the analysis results..

    Hovering over a rule in the configuration section provides a detalied description of the rule. The delivery on code rule examples within the RFE 2 year window is not likely. Please resubmit in 12-18 months for reconsideration if still valid.

    In addition, in Software Configurations --> Rules, can you also provide Good Coding Example and Bad Coding Example when you hover over a rule. See attached file for screen shots that provide only a description of the rule. Also, it would be very helpful if the description, Good example, Bad example could be added to export option where we can view them in a .dat or .csv file.
