APAR status

Error description

• Rational Developer for System z 8.0.3.3 - RDz - PL/I tooling is
  disabled when include statement contains 2 semicolons following
  member name.
  
  The following sample program and include member illustrates this
  problem:
  
  *PROCESS LIMITS(EXTNAME(31)) DFT(NOINITFILL) OPT(2);
   P06374: proc (BB) options(fetchable);
   DCL BB  ptr;
   DCL CC  char(80);
  
    %INCLUDE C06374;;
    %Include C06374B;
  
   end P06374;
  
  C06374 include member contents follow (i.e. does not end with
  ';'):
  
     dcl 1 A1,
       5 A2    CHAR(8),
       5 A3    CHAR(8),
  
  When opening this program with RDz PLI editor, annotation
  appears on this include statement( %INCLUDE C06374;; ) :
  'Include file contains the following error: ';' expected instead
  of this input'
  
  PL/I tooling icon indicates 'Tooling failed to initialize due to
  syntax error', even though program compiles successfully.
  
  This problem/error does not occur when opening the same program
  using RDz 8.5.0 client
