SE75147: RDI 9.6.0.9 ILE RPG CONTENT ASSIST LINE SPLIT ADDS EXTRA COLON OR LEFT PARENTHESIS CHARACTER

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When editing ILE RPG source code with the Remote Systems LPEX
  Editor in Rational Developer for i (RDI) 9.6.0.9 and using
  Content Assist (CTRL+SPACE) to choose a code completion
  proposal, if the Content Assist has to split the source line to
  a new line because the inserted content makes the line too long;
  then it can incorrectly add an extra colon ':' or left
  parenthesis '(' character after the inserted content if the
  inserted content was just after such a character.
  

Local fix

• If the extra character is added incorrectly, delete it manually.
