  ****************************************************************
  If one of the REDEFINE views of a COBOL copybook has a
  complex array, the code generation was overriding the
  default initialization of the field being redefined.
  

Problem conclusion

• Code generation was fixed to not override the default
  initialization.
  
  The fix for this APAR is included in Rational Application
  Developer v8.5.5.1.
