Show value of named constants in Compiler listing, extended.

This is an extended version of delivered RFE 54026 (Show value of named constants in Compiler listing).

We, in advance, want also show CHAR and Picture Values, as the are sometimes also not direct viewable in the source.
Examples:

DCL KO_PI01 PIC'ZZ99.V99' VALUE(355/113);
DCL KO_PI02 PIC'Z999.V9999999999' VALUE(355/113);
DCL KO_PI03 PIC'Z999.V999' VALUE("20.01"); /* CHAR>PIC */

DCL KO_CH02 CHAR(20) VALUE(355/113);
DCL KO_CH03 CHAR(20) VALUE("AAA"!!"BBB");
DCL KO_CH04 CHAR(30) VALUE(TRIM(10/128,'','0'));
DCL KO_CH05 CHAR(32700) VALUE((32700)'*');

maybe there are more datatypes of VALUE we did not found but are somehow computed.

But maybe crop the value in the listing if the Value's are to long ?

Thank you, Patrick

    numeric pic should certainly be done - strings would have to be truncated in the general case
