Indent Guide

I should be possible via e.g. an Indent Guide to visualize the different blocks of code in a program. Furthermore it should be possible to collapse and expand the blocks of code by pushing a ?plus sign?.

Currently only comments can be collapsed and expanded in the RBD editor.

I attach an example form some similar functionality in Notepad++.

    Due to processing by IBM, this request was reassigned to have the following updated attributes:
    Brand - Servers and Systems Software
    Product family - Programming Languages
    Product - Business Developer

    For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:
    Brand - Rational
    Product family - Design & development
    Product - Business Developer

    Thank you for this input. We agree that the ability to collapse logic blocks in the source editor would be helpful when working with large, complex applications. We will consider this in our planning for future releases. We do not have a time frame for when it might be implemented.
