APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Certain PL/I syntax causes Proprietary scanner (aespanal.exe)
  to consume high amounts of CPU on Windows RAA server.
  

Local fix

• Using the Compiler-based scanner for the affected files may
  avoid the issue.
  

Problem summary

• Proprietary scanner hung while trying to save comments with the
  appropriate token during look-ahead for processing
  (number)literal syntax in PLI.   The comment saving was putting
  the comment in the current and 2nd look-ahead token, rather
  than chaining them together.
  

Problem conclusion

• Code was changed to chain items together correctly.
  

Temporary fix
