RE: COBOL COPY command does not accept underscores

Hi Violaine,
Thank you for opening the APAR. 

Any idea about when this "next release" will be delivered ? Will the next 
release be based on Eclipse 3.0 ?
 
Best regards,

Hi Jerome,

I have opened APAR SE18613 to track this problem.
Unfortunately, sure to where the fix is needed, it will not be fixed until the 
next release of WDSc.

thanks,
