Error description

  • This issue was already raised as a defect against RDS. The issue
    has been fixed in RDS 5.2.1 via APAR PM75122. We have received
    an update in the APAR PM75122 (Currently closed) that the
    library files of RDS 5.2.1 will be used in DOORS 9.5.1 which is
    yet to be released. Hence raising this APAR against DOORS.
