Error description

• The supplied cicstags.yaml file in CICS 6.1 has a slight typo,
  in the commented out tag Tag: "This is a new tag" under the
  example MyExtraLabel: contains embedded blanks. We don't permit
  such embedded blanks - in fact a blank is used to determine that
  the parser has reached the end of the tag name. The field should
  be replaced by a valid example of Tag: "This_is_a_new_tag".
