PM48130: NO SOURCE LOCATION PASSED TO ERROR HANDLER FOR PARSE ERRORS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In some cases, an XQuery parsing error message was being
  reported to the Error Handler with its location information
  (systemID when available, line and column numbers) included in
  the text of the message, rather than in the SourceLocation
  object. This made tooling for user assistance (debugging etc)
  more difficult than it should be.
  
  We have left the location information in the error's text
  message, rather than risk changing that, but we have corrected
  the code so it is also provided correctly in the
  SourceLocation object.

  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Some XQuery parsing errors, when        *
  *                      passed to the error handler, were       *
  *                      failing to provide the SourceLocation   *
  *                      data structure, though they included    *
  *                      this information in the message text.   *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:  Install a fix pack which includes this      *
  *                  APAR.                                       *
  ****************************************************************
  This was an oversight when we introduced support for
  source-level debugging information (SourceLocation) in errors
  reported to the ErrorHandler, due to the exact location at
  which this message is being reported.
  

Problem conclusion

• Error reporting is improved to carry a proper SourceLocation
  (though we have not changed the text of the error message, in
  case someone has previously written code which attempts the
  parse the information out of that.)
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 1.0.0.11. Please refer to the Recommended Updates page
