Ameliorate duplication COBOL code from a program to another program

Ameliorate duplication COBOL code from a program to another program.

In PACBASE when you want to COPY a part of code to another program, you only overwrite the name of the program.
That's all.

With RPP, when you COPY/PASTE to another program, this is not finished.
You need to verify if there is micropattern (in pasted code) and you have to correct the code.
With a large part of code, it's not easy to see a micropattern.

At present, from our point of view, to COPY / PASTE specific code is less effective in RPP than PACBASE, and there is a loss of productivity.

It would be convenient
1) To have an alert when you paste some codes with micropattern in a new program.
2) Or better yet, to have an ?intelligent? PASTE who doesn't PASTE the code after the micropattern (if the code is double)
