Error description

• In Rational Application Developer 9.5.0.2iFix001, Running zUnit
  with Cobol source with $ in
  the
  name gives the following
  error: $Z40ZBTS.cbl IGYDS0025-E Name "'$Z40ZBTS'" was invalid.
  zUnit ignored the LONGMIXED parm in the properties.
  
  Problem Recreation:
  File > New > Other > J2C > CICS/IMS Data Bindling
  // and browse to location with : $DOL1.cbl
  // click next and you get the error:
  "...IWAA0645E: The import of the COBOL source has failed."
  Possible reasons for failure:
  1. Syntax errors were found in the source. If the file is from
  the
  workspace, check the 'Details' section for the list of errors.
  2. $DOL1.cbl is expected to be a complete COBOL program, based
  on its
  file extension.You can change the file extension support by
  going into
  the "More COBOL options" tab of the COBOL importer preferences
  page
  (Window -> Preferences -> Importer -> COBOL)
