Error description

• Rational Developer for System z (RDz): Using RDz 9.1/RTC 5.0
  Content Assist wrongly changes the line delimiter of a COBOL
  file when the line delimiter is set to Platform in Jazz Source
  Control.
  Steps to reproduce:
  - The line delimiter is set to Platform
  - Add the template EXEC SQL End-EXEC using Content Assist
  (CTRL+Space) in a COBOL member
  - Select the template to insert it in the code then save the
  member
  - There is an unresolved change in the "Pending Changes" view in
  RTC
  - Attempt to check-in the change then receive a pop-up dialog
  with the following:
  ''Inconsistent line delimiters were encountered in files(s) to
  be checked in. This can be an indication that the files may
  actually have binary content''.
  

Local fix
