APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If content assist is invoked for If / Or statements with
  multiple Or arguments the client may experience a out of memory
  and crash.
  
  Example code:
             If ARG1  Not = VAL1
                 Or ARG2  Not = VAL2
                 Or ARG3      Not = VAL3
                 Or ARG4   Not = VAL4
                 Or ARG5   Not = VAL5
                 Or ARG6 Not = VAL6
                 Or ARG7  Not = VAL7
                 Or ARG8   Not = VAL8
                 Or ARG9  Not = VAL9
                 Or ARG10   Not = VAL10
                 Or ARG11    Not = VAL11
                 Or ARG12     Not = VAL12
                 Or ARG13   Not = VAL13
                 Or ARG14    Not = VAL14
                 Or ARG15  Not = VAL15
  
                  display "test"
  
             End-if.
  
  The client .log file would have a similar error message:
  !ENTRY org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench 4 0 2015-05-30 15:16:05.282

• Decreasing the number of values will reduce the risk of a client
  out of memory.

  set of If / Or statements now.
