  APAR Error Description:
  Abstract: Rational Developer for System z V8.5.1: Copy/Paste of
  one line is not working in the LPEX editor using ISPF mode when
  using CTRL V.
  
  When editing a COBOL file, if attempting to paste (CTRL + V) a
  single copied line (CTRL + C) in the LPEX editor using ISPF
  mode, text will be placed starting in column 1 and pasted
  through column 6 but the remaining text will be truncated.
  
  In RDz 8.5.x, the COBOL parser was modified for editing
  improvements and a change occurred that affected the column
  values used when attempting to paste via CTRL + V.
  
  On the LPEX command line, executing the command 'query fields'
  will display a result of 1 7 73 81. This means that
  copying/pasting one line using CTRL + C/CTRL + V will paste
  content in columns 1-6, 7-72, 73-80 and 80+ depending on where
  you place your cursor prior to pasting. This is a change from
  the previous release that was not documented.
