Implement request: expanding encountered keywords in loaded text files also should be possible in Shell- and Eclipse-Client

Hello EWM_SCM Admins / Specialists,

Source: Case TS015421258:
https://www.ibm.com/mysupport/s/case/5003p00002qrnkbAAA/lscm-load-expandkeywords-how-does-this-work-in-shell-client?language=en_US

In ASCII text files, that are loaded into a sandbox, it  should be possible in Shell- and Eclipse-Client to expand encountered keywords.

Also see EWM_SCM CLI "load" command:

Thanks for a soon implementation.

    The EWM Ideas review board has evaluated this request. This request, while valid, is unlikely to be addressed in the next 18-24 months due to other higher-priority items on the Backlog. However, if the Idea remains important and you believe additional detail would help, please open a new Idea and we will review it.  Although we are closing this request, it will be kept in IBM's Ideas repository and may be reassessed or reopened for discussion in the future. We value your feedback and thank you for allowing us to partner with you in developing our products.

    Benefits + use case:

    In every ASCII source or text file it is visible:

    • what is its original name?

    • which version of the file am I looking at?

    • etc.
