extract data from Data Elements View to file layout.

when I am editing a Cobol program I right click and select sub select Data Elements for the data element view.
I should be able to export this data to an xcel file layout or at least to an external file that can be input into ecel.

    this is using RDz on a z machine. This is a simple request. pull up the "data elements" view. Please add the ability so I can extract the data in this view out to an excel file. I use Cobol, so that is how I see this. No idea if it is different between languages.

    at the RDz conference in July and talked with Bill about this. I showed him the view and the lack of ability to extract and he acted surprised I couldn't do this.

    Is this using COBOL on z platform or i platform?
