Content Assist / blank after parenthesis

content assist does not work in a PL/I source
when there is no space after a parenthesis.

We received the following reply from IBM Software Support on 2008-07-08:
I checked with the development team here and am told the this is the way
the Content Assist was designed and has always worked.
Curretnly there are no plans to change.

It would be helpful for us if this limitation can be eliminated by your developers.

Look at the Enterprise PL/I for z/OS V3.7 documentation, there is no blank after the parenthesis?

Enterprise PL/I for z/OS V3.7 Language Reference

19.230 SUBSTR

SUBSTR returns a substring, specified by y and z, of x.
SUBSTR(x,y[,z])

Enterprise PL/I for z/OS V3.7 Programming Guide
