Program Control Flow fails on Cobol Editor error token

RDz Cobol editor doesn't tolerate the missing space and throws 'Error_Token unexpected tokens ignored' error. This in turn causes the Program Control Flow to fail. RDz COBOL editor behavior is inconsistent with the mainframe COBOL compiler where a warning (not error) message is issued - IGYPS0001-W A blank was missing
before character "2" in column 57. A blank was assumed.
