    This is a duplicate of RFE 59198 https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=59198 . The implementation we chose for this is different than what is described in the RFE itself. For COBOL source you can find the length of 01 level items in the Data Element table view by adding Length and Offset columns. This was delivered in RDz 9.5.

    The following RFE "http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=60441" will be considered when implementing this RFE.

    A perfect place for holding the information would be to put it into the Data Elements View.
    Where each group item, should show the size of the group item.

    This RFE is consistent with our roadmap and is being considered for delivery in the next 2 year time frame. Thanks.
