IBM Z Software
This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Z Software products. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).

Thank you for submitting this request. There is a Request For Enhancement (RFE) created for one of the features that is being requested. Here is a link to that RFE: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=117562 which was accepted during 2018. This current request has what appears to be three different requests: refactoring, identifying unused variables, and dead code identification. We're treating RFE 139914 (this RFE) as one for refactoring which we are declining. The other request identifying unused variables is being declined as well. And as mentioned earlier, we already have accepted the RFE for dead code identification.
