The information that we requested to clarify this enhancement request was not provided so the RFE is being closed.
The following is an example of what is described by the customer to be able to view all occurrences of a given element. This is already supported for PL/I.
Create an array and assigned values 1 - 5 to each occurrence of the elements (B, C, D).
dcl 1 Arr1(5) ,
2 B Char(2) ,
2 C Fixed Bin(15) ,
2 D Fixed Decimal(2) ;
Now display all of the occurrences of B by adding arr1.B ( or just B in this simple case) to the monitor window without any subscripting. Note that you can also look at any other elements the same way. It also works in "hover mode" over the DCL for element B.
Please see attached file with screen shot to complete the example.
If this solution does not meet the original request, please provide further clarification.
