  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Entry fields on the CL Prompt dialog    *
  *                      were not long enough to allow special   *

  ****************************************************************
  This problem is fixed in the RDi 9.0.1 update.
  
  The combo box entry for a parameter on the CL Prompt dialog
  was not allowing longer values.  This occurred for a parameter
  defined as a hex data type which had special values defined
  for it which converted to hex constant values.  The entry
  prompt only allowed a length for the hex length; not the
  special value(s) text length.
  

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix
