Enhancement for syntax check on copybook

When we used RDZ 8.0.3 we didn't have any problem.
Like we are on RDZ 9.5.0 our copybooks have all lines with warning marks.
For all copybooks (about 40 000) we use the clause replacing witch consist on change all :XXXX: in the copybook by R1 (by example).
With RDZ 9.5.0 all lines with :XXXX: have warning marks.

I think the best way to avoid this, is to allow a special separating character for copybooks in preferences (Windows>Preferences>COBOL>Real-Time Syntax checking)

"Associate complete program" is not a solution, because we do create copybook before writing program.
And we do have Endevor and PDS for Endevor are only in browse mode so the association is not working.

    Turn off for real time syntax checking of copybooks is not a choice.
    Because if we do it , we don't see problems on copybook.
    If we turn on the check, all lines are in error and we don't see i f there are real problems.

    Rational Developer for z Systems has an option to turn off the preference for real time syntax checking of copybooks. For that reason, we are rejecting this request.

    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; However, 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. Again, thank you for your suggestion and continued support.
