Error description
In Rational Developer for System z V9.1.1 (RDz), when using the System z Data Editor to edit a file containing x'0E' and x'0F', the characters are not displayed. But the Hex view shows that the characters are still there. When viewing the data, this poses a challenge for users because the character positions are not properly maintained causing misaligment of the characters. Also, the problem appears more pronounced when customer are using the recommended monospaced font, Courier or Courier New (size of 10).
Local fix
Problem summary
The System z Data Editor ignored 0x0E and 0x0F characters wrongly when it tried to convert characters surrounded by them to DBCS characters.
Problem conclusion
The RDz client was fixed to show control characters for 0x0E and 0x0F in System z Data Editor. The problem listed in this APAR has been resolved with IBM Rational Developer for System z V9.1.1.2 Fix Pack which is available from the Recommended Fixes support download page: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=2294&uid=swg27006335
