Error description
Rational Developer for System z 8.5.1 - RDz - CARMA Endevor package comments not shown when opened with Endevor Package editor. There are cases when Endevor will add comments into a Package. For example, when performing a CAST PACKAGE request with 'validate components (yes)', Endevor may add comments in the package regarding other components that should be processed. These comments can not be viewed/edited from the RDz Endevor Package editor. Local Fix: Open/edit Package using the System z LPEX or Text editor.
Local fix
Problem summary
The Package Editor ignores comments in the Source Preview display and destroys any existing comments when the package is saved.
Problem conclusion
Modified the code so that comments are visible in the Package Editor, and comments associated with unchanged commands are retained. The problem listed in this APAR has been resolved with IBM Rational Developer for System z V8.5.1.4 Fix Pack which is available from the Recommended Fixes support download page: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=2294&uid=swg27006335
