Error description

• Rational Developer for System z - RDz - V 9.1
  
  According to the IMS documentation, the 'line-increment' of the
  'DO' statement has a default value of '1' and can be missed.
  The following lines are equivalent:
  
  DO    4,,18,BOUND=FIELD
  DO    4,1,18,BOUND=FIELD
  
  In MFS Editor, the first line is wrongly marked with the
  following error:
  
  Encountered "," at line nn, column cc.
  Was expecting one of:
      "BOUND" ...
      "SUF" ...
      <DECIMALINT> ...
      <HEXADECIMALINT> ...
      <LABEL> ...
      <LABEL_HEXADECIMALINT> ...
  

Local fix

Problem conclusion

• The real time syntax check of the MFS editor is fixed to support
  the omission of the keyword for the 'DO" statement.
