I'm getting a CPD6248 'PROMPT text is not allowed for the CONSTANT
parameter or if TYPE(*ZEROELEM) or TYPE(*NULL) is specified', in RDi
9.6 (and 9.5) when I prompt a PARM (in a command definition) where
the parameter has a value for CONSTANT.

The line I'm prompting is ...

PARM KWD(MODE) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(4) CONSTANT('*DSP')

FWIW: An APAR has been created for this issue.
