Need mechanism to add Assembler Macros from a PDS into the User Macro Definitions file

In the release of RDz version 8.0.3 there is a new feature in the Assembler editor that determines if a Macro found in the source is valid. This process comes with a file that defines the IBM supplied Macros, but if a client has Macros that have been created in house it shows these as errors unless a User Macro Defintions file is created. The process to build this file is manual and must be done within the RDz client product. Each Macro must be defined in the product. There needs to be a way to build this user file by pointing to and existing Macro file on the mainframe and having RDz built the file from the PDS.
