APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Rational Developer for System z 8.5 - RDz - Realtime syntax
  check returns 'Misplaced construct' on valid PLI EXEC CICS
  command/statement.
  
  When opening a PL/I CICS program in the LPEX or PLI editor,
  real-time syntax checks flags EXEC CICS command/statement with
  'Misplaced construct'. This condition/error occurs when a
  data-area on EXEC CICS command/statement includes 2 or more
  qualifiers.
  
  For example:
  EXEC CICS PUT CONTAINER( 'SERVICE-ROOT') FROM( a.b );      OK
  EXEC CICS PUT CONTAINER( 'SERVICE-ROOT') FROM( a.b.c );
  'Misplaced construct'
  EXEC CICS PUT CONTAINER( 'SERVICE-ROOT') FROM( a.b.c.d );
  'Misplaced construct'

Problem conclusion

• The real-time syntax check parser in the PL/I and System z LPEX
  editors showed an incorrect warning annotation when a
  user-defined data area used in an EXEC CICS statement in a PL/I
  program includes 2 or more qualifiers.   Only 1 data name
  qualifier was accepted.
