APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Opening PNLGRP (Panel Group) source with the Remote Systems LPEX
  Editor in Rational Developer for i (RDI) 9.6.0.6 may result in a
  StringIndexOutOfBoundsException error being encountered which
  disables the document parser in that edit session.
  
  This happens when the PNLGRP source has a line with only a
  period on it.
  
  :keyi     key=f1
            action=help
            .
  :keyi     key=f3
            action=exit
