Mismatch between COBOL realtime syntax check and COBOL z/OS compiler with missplaced END-IF statement

We are using RDz 7.6.2.1 and we detected a mismatch between COBOL
realtime syntax check and COBOL z/OS compiler.
If the END-IF statement is not placed on the correct column the syntax check doen't notice it, but the z/OS compiler gets an error.
We are using:
parser: cobolZosSqlCics
compiler: IBM Enterprise COBOL for z/OS 4.1.0

We would expect the realtime syntax check to behave like the z/OS compiler.
