Error description

• Rational Developer for System z - RDz - v9.1.0
  
  Attempts to open a text file, such as a JES spool file, using
  the default editor, which is the System z LPEX editor, takes a
  very long time when opening a large file such as an FEKLOGs
  spool file.
  

Local fix

• Change the default editor for spool files  and txt files to be
  a text editor instead of the System z LPEX editor.
  
  Window > Preferences > General > Editors > File association
  
  For *.spool you will need to first add a text editor and then
  set the text editor to be the default.
  
  For text files set the default editor for *.txt in file
  associations dialog to a text editor.
  

Problem summary

• Rational Developer for System z - RDz - v9.1.0 attempts to open
  a text file, such as a JES spool file, using the default editor,
   which is the System z LPEX editor, takes a very long time when
  opening a large file such as an FEKLOGs spool file.
  

Problem conclusion

• The default text editor is now associated with .spool files, and
   not LPEX.
