  When a source member contains a valid statement containing the
  VARYING(2) keyword, and the line is shifted one or two spaces
  to the right in the editor, the syntax checker in RDI may abend.
  
  For example, if the following line is in an RPGLE source member,
  and all the text following the initial D is shifted right by
  one or two spaces, for example using ALT-F8, RDI may crash.
  
  D fld1            s              10a   varying(2)
