RDz Code Coverage comparison report

The current Code Coverage report has "comparison" features, but it only shows the number of line increase / decrease.

It should also show the exact code statement. Otherwise we cannot know which line are newly covered / not covered by the new test case.

    Hello IBM,
    the comment from year 2012 says
    "is being considered for delivery in the next 2 year time frame"
    We have 2018.
    Could you specify a more precise time frame?

    We need this comparison for:
    Changing COBOL compiler options and see changed pathes.
    Changing test cases and getting
    -more coverded lines
    - less covered lines
    - "moved" covered lines (i.e. from THEN to ELSE-statements). This example is special, because the numbers of coverded lines may be the same.
