Error description
Rational Developer for System z - RDz - v9.5.0 Increasing the line length for PLI programs from 72 to for example 100 characters the syntax highlighting of the PLI- editor is not reflected over the default 72 characters. Starting with character 73 of a line, the syntax highlighting of the PLI-editor is not implemented and instead greys out the applicable artifacts. Reproducible with PLI Editor after extending the columns setting to 100 via PL/I -> Editor preferences: 1) Right-Mouse click in PL/I Editor 2) Select Preferences ...3) In "PL/I" -> "Editor" Under "Margins" alter to eg Column: "100" 3) Edit a PL/I source with contents after column 72... 4) Check syntax highlighting and any text entries above the default 72 are greyed.
Local fix
