Variable for specifying output length when creating copybook is not created

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

''- When creating a Cobol copybook with the current API specification file (json), a variable for specifying the output length is always created if it is a String.
- When creating an outbound copybook, if you give the "characterWhiteSpace" option in the environment settings, the text will be automatically trimmed, so there is no need to set the output length for each item.
 (ex)ACNO                         PIC X(14).
      ACNO_LENGTH             PIC S9999 COMP-5 SYNC.  ->Unnecessary variables
- Request for improvement to generate only the necessary variables without the above LENGTH variable
