Where in the RPG am I? An RFE idea -- WDSCI-L

× The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.

Perhaps there's a setting, or an open RFE for this, or maybe it's already available in a newer RDi version (currently running 9.1.1)?
Some of my RPG source members are a bit long, and within them, some of the subroutines and subprocedures are also a bit long.  I often wonder (particularly when I'm searching for occurrences of global variables) where I am in the source. The line number tells me I'm in deep, but... Which subroutine or subprocedure am I looking at LPEX, and how would I know without having to scroll up to find the begsr or P-spec?
If I'm the first to bring this up, and if I'm not the only one on Planet i for whom a solution would be helpful, I'd be happy to offer an RFE to show the name of the subroutine or inline subprocedure where the cursor is located.  Could be displayed at the top of the LPEX pane to the right of the "Line 1187   Column 8   Replace".  Perhaps right-adjusted to the far right of the visible window? Or on the very bottom line of the editor, between the last visible source statement and the command line?
Any support for this?
