PL/I compiler option LISTVIEW(SOURCE) support for code coverage

In Japan, there are many banking customer who are using PL/I. Such customer does not need to know a code coverage of inside PL/I macro, which is expanded at INCLUDE statement. Because many banking customer in Japan are using SAIL asset that is provided by IBM, and these customers do not need to capture code coverage of PL/I macro provided as SAIL asset.
So, could you support code coverage function for PL/I compiler option LISTVIEW(SOURCE)?
If it can, these customer can eliminate PL/I macro statement from code coverage result.
