Error description
When editing ILE RPG source in Rational Developer for i (RDi), one can select a built-in function name in the source code and press F1 to obtain Language Sensitive Help for the specific built-in function. However, double clicking or highlighting the entire built-in function text and pressing F1 for help places the editor cursor on the character after the end of the builtin function name, likely a space or open-bracket and instead of help for the built-in function, the help page for a generic statement is displayed.
Local fix
Highlight or move the cursor back one character such that it is on one or more of the letters of the built-in function name before requesting the help.
