SE55400: RDP 8.5.1 CONTENT ASSIST DOES NOT ALLOW INSERTION TO COL 80

Rational Developer for i Fix Pack 9.0.1 for 9.0

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• When selecting a choice with the RPGLE content assist in the
  LPEX editor the choice will only be allowed if the last
  character of the selected value will be inserted into the source
  at column 79 or less.
  The value inserted by content assist is not allowed to meet
  column 80.
  
  LPEX should allow insertion of content assist values that don't
  exceed column 80; comments start in column 81.
  

Local fix

• Arrange code so that content assist values do not exceed column
  79 of the source line.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Content Assist would not insert values  *
  *                      to the last available column (80).      *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  This problem is fixed in the RDi 9.0.1 update.
  
  Content Assist (Ctrl+Space) would insert values that went to
  column 79, but wouldn't also use column 80, which is also
  eligible.
