Error description

• Rational Developer for System z (RDz): RDZ client 9.5
  content assist makes wrong proposals when PLI declare
  structure contains an union.
  
  For instance, in the following program, when I create a new line
  pki#, then hit the ctrl+space, the following proposals are wrong
  for pkd and bez as they are not a part of rectype.
  pki#.rectype.pkd
  pki#.rectype.pkd.bez
  
  P49583: proc options(main);
  
      dcl 1 pki#,
           2 rectype          char(3),
           2 *                union,
            3 pkd,
             4 bez            char(8);
    pki#;
  end P49583;
