Error description

  • Rational Developer for Z - v9.5.1
    
    When having several occurrences to replace in a COBOL source
    code file, the replace function works correctly only on the
    first occurrence.
    If the "Replace" button is hit a second time after having done
    the first replacement, the newly replaced text is updated.
    
    Open a cobol program;
    Hit CTRL+F to open the the wizard,
    Enter "IBM" in "Find" field,
    Enter "TEST" in "Replace" field,
    Click "Find" button,
    Click "Replace" button,
    Click "Replace" button again.
    
    The text on the line of the previous replace gets reduced after
    the first replace.
    IBM - replace with MB
    IBM COBOL FILE
    
    becomes
    MB COBOL FILE
    then
    MBCOBOL FILE
    then
    MBOBOL FILE
    
    Each replace is modifying three characters even though the
    string to be replaced no longer matches.
