    Idea / RFE Review. Unfortunately there has not been further interest noted since our last update in September 2020 (and overall only 3 votes since it was raised in 2012). Given this, and the priority outlook we outlined at that time, on this occasion we have decided not to carry this idea further forward.

    RFE Review. Apologies for the length of time this RFE has been in the status of Under Consideration. Whilst we only rarely come across users who wish to use PL/1 metadata as the basis for creating a DFDL message model, we acknowledge that it can be awkward for those users to go via other metadata forms such as the COBOL importer. For this reason, whilst not a feature we intend to work on in the short term, we will continue to monitor this RFE for popularity. Status of the RFE is updated to Uncommitted Candidate.
