RPG Compiler (and RDi Syntax Checker) weirdness

Cross posted in RPG and WDSC lists because it applies to both. Just for reference, IBM i 7.1 TR?, RDi 9.1.1.1.

So just by accident, due to fat fingers, I discovered that the following RPG code does not generate an error:


handle = ls_init(LSOA_COPY + + LSOA_BLOCK + LSOA_REPEAT);


Note the two + operators separated only by a space. What does that compile to? It is obvious to me that an operand is missing, but
the compiler happily creates something and goes on it's merry way. The LPEX source checker thinks it is ok as well!
