Currently, when declaring data items, it's sometimes a hassle to declare the correct data item size:

I'd like to propose to add a Quick Action to warning COBCH1007 (and similar warnings/errors) that's updating the PICTURE clause according to the provided value.

For textual values there may be a list of suggested Quick Actions provided by the proposed feature from which the user may choose. This list may provide options like:

• X(n)
• A(n)
• XXXXXXX...
• AAAAAAA...

For numerical values the corresponding "S" or "9" values should be added ("9" either left or right to an optional "V" PICTURE clause spec).

I'm not sure if there are a set of rules for edited numerical values that can be derived from a VALUE clause. If so, there may be a list of suggested Quick Actions provided by the proposed feature from which the user may choose, too.
