Error description

• Rational Developer for System z LPEX editor Cut / Paste problem
  COBOL full line only pasting prefix area part
  
  When editing a COBOL program it appears the paste function acts
  differently depending on how you selected the text (with the
  mouse or keyboard).
  
  If the user selects a line using the keyboard (Shift + Arrow
  Down and press CNTL-C) and paste that line into a blank line,
  the entire line is pasted.  Everything works as expected.
  
  If the user selects a line by placing the cursor at col 1 and
  Shift+End and press CNTL-C,. Then  the paste from col 1 will
  only paste in the prefix area the 1st 6 characters and stop.
  
  If the user starts the paste in any column after column 6 the
  paste will work but the positions will be off because the user
  didn't start in column 1.
  
  The user does not expect the paste to stop at prefix area
  boundary but to paste the complete line.
  
  Notes/Observations:
  Problem occurs in RDz v8.5.1.1 and RDz v9.0
  
  Problem does not occur on RDz 7.6.2.4 and RDz 8.0.3.4

Local fix

Problem summary

• When editing a COBOL program it appears the paste function acts
  differently depending on how you selected the text (with the
  mouse or keyboard).
  
  When pasting text at the start of a line in a COBOL file,
  the pasted text stopped at the first field boundary. These
  fields were enforced by the parser and the behavior of paste
  with regards to them was not configurable.
  

Problem conclusion

• The behaviour of paste with regards to fields, and the value of
  the fields themselves, can be controlled in 9.1.1 via
  Window->Preferences->LPEX Editor->System z LPEX Editor->COBOL
  Parser. Setting 'Paste Behavior' to 'Ignore Fields' will result
  in the complete line being pasted.
  
  The problem listed in this APAR has been resolved with
  IBM Rational Developer for System z V9.1.1.0 Refresh Pack which
  is available from the Recommended Fixes support download page:
  http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=2294&uid=swg27006335
