  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * When auto-complete is turned on, nested data structures may  *
  * not auto-complete.                                           *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  Nested data structures will not always add the END-DS
  automatically when the user has turned on Auto-Complete. The
  problem is more prominent when the dcl-ds and end-ds are on the
  same line inside a nested data structure.
  

Problem conclusion

• This problem is fixed in the RDi 9.6.0.6 update.
