Error description

  • IBM Developer for z Systems - IDz - v14.0.0.5
    
    Using LPEX or COBOL Editor, Hebrew text codded in BIDI copybook
    is displayed reversed when opening a COBOL Source member defined
    with this copybook before opening the copybook itself.
    
    we can access a copybook and have everything work fine.
    However, after accessing a source which references that copybook
    (or adding a reference to it), the Hebrew in the copybook
    becomes and stays reversed.
    
    We cannot bypass the issue by opening all the copybooks
    beforehand.
