Hi Thomas,
The intent was never to require users to mark each sub-field unused. Which is why we added the preference to say if one field is used, consider them all un-used back in the 9608.
"Include annotations for subfields in named data structures" should drop the "named" and work for ALL data structures.
Once we properly honor that rule, users won't NEED to mask individual un-used fields in data structures.

Almost correct. It seems to work for standalone fields but not for sub-fields of data structure:
// @ignore-unused
dcl-s unusedField char(10); // works
// @ignore-unused // does not remove unsed markers of the $$fkey sub-fields dcl-ds *N;
scrnFKeys char(18) dim(32) inz; // this field is used
// @ignore-unused
$$FKey01 char(18) pos(1); // $$fkeys are unused and the marker cannot be removed
$$FKey02 char(18) pos(19);
Thomas.

If you add a comment line before the unused use with @ignore-unused it does not supress the blue bang for the unused symbol?
Like:
// @ignore-unused
dcl-pr TESTDBG end-pr;
