RDz Expanding Snippet functionality

Snippets in RDz offers you the ability to include code templates with or withour variable substitution.
Many code snippets requires code inserted in other sections of COBOL or/and could benefit from inline programming logic to make the snippets more dynamic, so some Looping and conditional logic depending on variables might be beneficial.

Ie - MOVE could imply to see if the field/COPY-book was in the program
- An insertion of and FD requires a File Control definition as well
- A READ INTO might include LOOP logic, that requires EOF-datafields in Working Storage

And Of Course the Edito shoulde be bale to check that all the Prereq's are availbale for the code, so unnessesary compiles are avoided.

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

    It would also be nice to have a $list{} function like the Menu Manager to allow the specification of a drop down selection list in the Inset dialog.
