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.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] To be under Indicators or not to be
Ken's question about where in the Outline view to find named indicators has stirred things up a bit.
We would like to know if there is a strong preference to move Named indicators under the Fields heading so that all fields can be found in one place and only predefined indicator usage being shown under the Indicators heading.
On the other hand would anyone be upset about not finding the Named indicators under the Indicators heading any more?
IBM is listening.
