SE76157: RDI 9.6.0.10 - ILE RPG OUTPUT SPECIFICATION AND/OR CONDITIONING LINES CAUSE BLANK OUTLINE VIEW

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When editing ILE RPG source in Rational Developer for i (RDI)
  9.6.0.10, an error can occur in parsing the RPG source content,
  which prevents the Outline view from being populated, or if
  already populated, from being updated.
  This can occur when there is a combination of Output
  specification AND and OR condition lines. In particular, it
  seems to fail when an O spec has an AND condition line followed
  by one or more OR condition lines, followed by another AND line
  followed by one or more OR lines. Or an AND line followed by two
  or more OR lines.
  
  Example:
      OQSYSPRT  D    01                     1
      O        AND  02
      O        OR    03
      O        AND  04
      O        OR    05
