    This was delivered in RDz 9.5. This capability already exists. From an open COBOL program right click and choose Show In > Data Elements. If you do not see the column for Length then click on the triangle in the upper right corner of the view in order to see the menu for this view. Select the menu item for Columns then select Length. Here is the Knowledge Center page for this feature: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSQ2R2_14.1.0/com.ibm.etools.rdz.language.editors.doc/topics/r_length_offset_cobol.html

    I believe the total area should be 103 not 102, but that is being picky so forgive. I do believe this would be very beneficial to all and would save me a lot of time and potential problems.
