I spent 20 minutes googling around for examples Dan but didn’t find anything terribly useful. It looked as if the support was a little stronger but I couldn’t tell. I was hoping someone here might have some experience.

I agree with your suggested course of action, but I have no idea how to
compare the COBOL features between RDi and RDz(?). Ideas?

Well the Outline view is a lot less useless than it used to be <grin>

Difficult to tell how much IBM will up the level of COBOL support. There
are a much smaller number of COBOL developers than RPG and, in my
experience, they tend to be even more stick-in-the-mud about using “modern”
tools than RPGers.

You can always open RFEs of course. But as far as what to request, your
best bet is to find out exactly what features the mainframe (Z) version of
Rational Developer has in its Outline view that RDi doesn’t have and ask
for those. You have a reasonable chance of getting those.
