Error description
Rational Developer for System z - RDz - v8.5 The PLI Outline Parser causes an Empty Stack Exception and the Outline view displays nothing. When the following PLI code exists it causes a EMPTY Stack exception in the PLI Outline Parser: check_value: proc; dcl 1 test, 7 a char(2), 7 b char(2); if test.a = test.b then test1: do; display( 'test.a = test.b' ); end test; end check_value; To avoid the problem if the 'end test;' is changed to end; then it works, or if the dcl is not a structure it works. This same problem does NOT happen on v8.0.3.3 client. The following exception occurs: java.util.EmptyStackException at java.util.Stack.peek(Stack.java:70) at com.ibm.ftt.language.pli.outline.PliParseTree. getCurrentParent(PliParseTree.java:95) at com.ibm.ftt.language.pli.outline.PliOutlineParser. parse(PliOutlineParser.java:351) at com.ibm.ftt.language.pli.outline.PliOutlineParser. parse(PliOutlineParser.java:1) at com.ibm.ftt.lpex.mvs.outline.MvsLpexContentOutlinePage. getContentOutline(MvsLpexContentOutlinePage.java:374) at com.ibm.ftt.lpex.mvs.outline.MvsLpexContentOutlinePage. update(MvsLpexContentOutlinePage.java:397) at com.ibm.systemz.common.jface.systemz.SystemzOutlinePage. reloadOutline(SystemzOutlinePage.java:46) at com.ibm.systemz.common.jface.editor.CommonSourceEditor. reloadOutline(CommonSourceEditor.java:416) at com.ibm.systemz.common.jface.editor.CommonSourceEditor. doSave(CommonSourceEditor.java:402) at com.ibm.systemz.pl1.editor.jface.editor.Pl1Editor. doSave(Pl1Editor.java:625) *************************************************************** Local fix: Change the 'end test' to 'end'.
