Copybook with REPLACING ==(PREF)== BY ==xxxx==

We have somme copybook with replacing (see added file Capture2.jpg). This copybook are included in COBOL program with :
COPY name REPLACING ==(PREF)== BY ==xxxx==.

When we open this copybook in IDz we have a lot of error due to ==( )==. With REPLACING ==:PREF:== it work, but all your copybook use ==(PREF)==. Could you add the support for REPLACING ==(PREF)== ?

    Thank you for taking the time to suggest an enhancement to our product. Many of our product enhancements result from feedback from our customers, so your input is always very important to us. At this time, your request for enhancement is not currently aligned with our product strategy and vision and we have no plans to address your request in the near future.

    There might be an alternative solution for your situation, review the following doc to see if this may work: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/developer-for-zos/15.0.0?topic=content-associating-include-file-complete-program

    Or you may simply disable realtime syntax checking for copybooks in the preferences.
