We had initially considered this for the next major release (8.3). However, as we researched this further this would require major rewrite and likely break changes. 

I would like to see if Serena can modify the CHECKOUT function to include same SCAN feature that is on BUILD menu.Ā  This would allow SCAN for character strings and then use result of scan to easily CHECKOUT components from the SCAN list.

I find that i do a SCAN for character string ofter for items i need to change and then need to leave scan function and use CHECKOUT for many of the same components identified in SCAN.Ā  I was thinking if Serena could add a SCAN feature to CHECKOUT processing it would make process of finding components and selecting into package for modification easier.

This is very good point. The need to combine Scan and Checkout is very valid. I have written a rexx - to checkout the components that I have found in a scan, but a foreground feature in the product would be better. My target solution would be: User does SC Scan Baseline for String Then he gets a "Impact Screen" with one line for each component (and the scan-hits#) From there - he can eater use a function to see the results or checkout to the package.

I also think that this is a really good idea. Besides of all that was already said, a functionality like the one we are talking here would help a lot especially the development users. I agree with the comment made by "Roger Infanger". And of course valid for ChangeMan products (ISPF Client, ZMF4ECL and ZDD).
