I don't know about open requirements.  All I was trying to do was replicate 
what I can do in SublimeText.  
Anyway, I do have RDz and the Cobol editor supplied with that provides full 
support (tho the JCL and other editors don't).
It does seem irksome that a feature would be provided in a half-baked fashion 
especially when it has taken so long to become available.
