Generated Code Structure and Working Storage

The Generated Code Structure should collapse or expand Working Storage,
the same way it is done for Functions and SubFunctions.

In addition, all the different levels should be expandable and
collapsible.

The Outline can collapse and expand Working storage, but not the
Procedure Division. But, the Generated Code Structure can collapse and
expand the Procedure Division, but not the Working storage.

It is confusing how the Generated Code Structure names the segments
defined on CD, which are not part of the File Section.

    We have evaluated this request and determined that it cannot be implemented at this time because Outline view and GSV do not represent the same thing and is not based on the same grammar. We think we should have a more detail discussion about this to understand where really your painpoint is.

    This request lacks sufficient information for us to evaluate it. It might not be considered further until it has been revised and clarified. Please described the exact behavior you expect as WS is not modelized anymore in RPP.
