APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Editing ILE RPG source using the Remote Systems LPEX Editor in
  Rational Developer for i (RDI) 9.6.0.7 the Content Assist
  (CTRL+Space) feature will not insert the code proposal for a
  declaration statement if the inserted value would extend past
  the remaining eligible columns on the line (Up to column 80,
  unless its fully free RPG source).  Inserting the selected
  proposal should split and continue the statement to a new line
  to perform the insert as requested.
