Rarional Programming Patterns: having subscripts automatically located in the subscript data group.

When using RPP (V9.5.1) I noticed that the subscripts generated thru the snippets are not generated in binary format (COMP, COMP-4/5 or BINARY usage) - preferred format for this kind of data -. RPP seems to expect the user to add a group data item with this clause or add them in the data element.

I wish that RPP when defining an subscript either
1/ locate them directly under the group indices.
2/ add the word binary to the data definition.
3/ offers the choice between this two options.
