IDz editor pane to display the current Cobol Section Header name

It is suggested that the Section Header Name should always be displayed on the top of the IDz editor pane until the next section begins. It is somewhat similar to the freeze top pane on spreadsheets.

    This section and subsections of the Knowledge Center describe how to navigate a COBOL program: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSQ2R2_14.1.0/com.ibm.etools.rdz.language.editors.doc/topics/tzednav.html

    Among other things, these KC sections describe the Outline View, which is sync'd with the editor, so that the user can see what part of the program they are editing at a glance. Even if the Outline View is not immediately visible, the user can open the Quick Outline (Ctrl+O on Windows) which pops up a hover window of the outlne.

    While these solutions are not exactly what the RFE is asking for, they are easy ways to keep track of where you are in a program.
