IDz missing Code Metrics functionality for PL/I

In RDz and IDz, the ability to run metrics on PL/I code is not available. This same functionality is available in COBOL, but not an option to identify dead code for PL/I code. We are needing this functionality to address our overall Mainframe needs.

    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. Your request is currently inline with our product strategy and we have planned it for a future release of the product. Thank you for your suggestion and continued support.

    In looking at the results for COBOL, having the “Software Metrics” results work for PL/I would be a good first priority.
    We would also still like to see the “Code Review” results display for PL/I as well. Right now neither option works for PL/I.

    A preliminary evaluation of this request indicates that it is consistent with our business strategy. Further evaluation of this RFE is underway.
