Error description

• In Rational Developer for System z (RDz) version 8.5.1.1,
  running with code coverage a PL/I program containing 'ON
  ENDFILE' statements results in incorrect execution status:
  
  - call to procedure is shown in red (call sayHello;) while
  procedure code is shown in green  (sayHello: PROC;)
  - open/read statements are shown in red while they have
  been executed
  
  For example with:
      eol=no;
  
      on endfile (fdesc)
      begin;
          eol = yes;
      end;
  
      open file  (fdesc) title ('DSN(USER182.MYFILE),SHR');
      read file (fdesc) into (rec);
  
      do WHILE( eol = no)  ;
         CALL sayHello;
         read file (fdesc) into (rec);
     end;
  
     close file (fdesc);
  
     sayHello:proc();
          Display('Hello World');
     end;
  
  Local fix:
  There is no known workaround at this time.
