Provide assistance to help developer fix all reconcilation warnings

Searching and resolving all the reconcilation warnings on a COBOL file is not easy. The user has to find all the warnings by himself (using the "Problems" view) and check the quick-fixes for each warning.

We would like to have a dedicated tool, that will list all the reconcilation warning for a given COBOL file, to help locate them and navigate in the source.

For each reconcilation warning the tool should propose to cycle through code change proposals, including the current result of the last generation, options to reinsert "lost" code, option to make manual change and option to remove warning.

After the user has reviewed all the reconcilation warnings, he could choose to either save or cancel the file.

Also, we would like to have a way to retrieve easily the modules that currently hold reconcilation warnings, in order to treat them using the dedicated tool.

Also we need a way to quickly know if a given module currently holds one or more reconcilation warnings.

    We have evaluated this request and determined that it cannot be implemented at this time because we have already tools (like the preview button in -CP tab and a new action "generate and compare" in the next version that will help you remove all the reconciliation warnings. With the precondition that prohibit to deliver a cobol with reconciliation warnings, every thing is already in RPP to better handle this....

    A preliminary evaluation of this request indicates that it is consistent with our business strategy. Further evaluation of this RFE is underway.
