While I haven't used this feature in the past, I agree with Mike. If I use this feature in the future, I would likely look in the fields section first because it may not be apparent what data type it is. I like the idea of keeping system reserved indicators in the indicators section and having named indicators in the fields section.
One of the things I like about this forum is that it reveals features that I haven't used or discovered yet. The whole global definitions section is largely an untapped resource for me, and one of the posts jogged my memory about using content assist. Good stuff.

subject: Re: [WDSCI-L] To be under Indicators or not to be
I would prefer named indicators be listed as fields, while system reserved indicators (*INxx, LR, etc) stay under indicators. A named indicator does not jump out as an indicator unless you spend time analyzing how it is used; system indicators are more obvious.
If listed as a field, the data type is shown to the right, making it easier to recognize.
