APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In IBM Rational ClearCase ClearTeamExplorer (CTE) the paths
  shown in the pending changes view may sometimes be incorrect.
  This only affects the how it's displayed in the GUI. The actual
  path in the file properties is correct.
  The issue seems to occur if there are major similarities between
  directory names in the VOB root directory.
  
  WORKAROUND:
  Do not use similar names for directories in the VOB root
  directory.
