Re: RNF0257

Hi Daniel,

the workaround suggested in the defect indeed solves the RNF0257 errors.

I do notice that the comment-lines-with-codes are still shifted one
character to the left: the * is in column 6 instead of 7. Strangely enough
this doesn't trigger a syntax error, whereas it does if I manually put a *
in column 6.

But for the time being my issue seems to be gone.

Thanks for the help!

Best regards,

Peter
