Error description

• Rational Developer for System z 8.5.1 - RDz - When Refactor
  (remove noise words) performed on COBOL/PLI program in System z
  LPEX editor, client hangs.
  
  RDz user opens COBOL/PL1 program in the System z LPEX editor.
  Once program is open, they right-click in editor pane and select
  Refactor -? Remove Noise Words from the context menu.  User
  selects noise words to be removed and clicks ?OK?.  User is
  presented with a panel that contains 'Problems found', as well
  as, the number of 'Noise word' instances found.  When user
  clicks ?Continue? button, client hangs (Remove Noise Words
  dialog panel never goes away). User needs to cancel RDz client
  using task manager.
  
  Local Fix:
  (1) Open program in COBOL/PLI editor when doing the refactor
  function.
  
  (2) If system z LPEX editor is preferred, make sure the
  following LPEX Editor Preprocessor Integration preference is NOT
