Macro for online overrides automatic generated code

When code is generated, the Function (in this caseF20ZA) seems like is doing nothing when in fact it is overriding the validation of the element.

    Please see the attached image. We want to continue using *R from the macro CONLN. It would be great if we could see in NAC061 that the macro is performing a *R and the field that it is attached to.

    We consider this request as a question. Since macros "SP" still exist for now (we plan to remove them probably next year trough an upgrade), if you want to overide a function you need to continue to use *R argument in the parameter line of the macro.
    Once SP macros will have disappeared, you'll be able to remove the generated by deleting it directly in the editor, as you mentioned.
