SE76517: RDI 9.6.0.11 EDITING RPG SOURCE CONTAINING DOUBLE BYTE LITERALS USING A PROFILE WITH CCSID 1399 GETS PARSER ERROR

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In Rational Developer for i (RDI) 9.6.0.11, editing RPG source
  which has character literals with double-byte characters in
  fixed calc fields can lead to parser errors being reported in
  the editor view, and program verifier error messages. This can
  occur for a source file with CCSID 1399 or 5035, and connecting
  from RDI with a user profile set to CCSID 1399.
  
  RDI may incorrectly calculate the column positions for a source
  line with double byte characters in literal strings for CCSID
  1399, leading to RPG parser errors.
  

Local fix

• Use a user profile with CCSID 5035, instead of 1399, for
  connecting to RDI for editing.
