    Content Assist has been disabled on macros as it leads to inconsistent results as a COBOL sentence can start on a first macro and be completed in a second one.

    Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, such a feature in macros would require a dedicated grammar for macros which is a large effort thus it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.
