SE52671: EXTERNALLY DESCRIBED DATA STRUCTURES WITH KEYWORD QUALIFIED ARE NOT CORRECTLY DISPLAYED IN THE OUTLINE VIEW.

Rational Developer for Power Systems Software Fix Pack 1 (8.5.1) for 8.5

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Externally described data structures with keyword QUALIFIED are
  not having their subfields correctly added to the RPG model.
  This makes it so that a field defined with keyword LIKE is
  unable to reference them properly, and ends up showing Unknown
  (0) rather than the actual data type and length.
  

Local fix

• n/a

  ****************************************************************
  In the ILE RPG Live Outline view, there is an issue with
  subfields of externally described data structures with the
  keyword QUALIFIED. The subfields of such data structures are
  not being correctly added to the internal RPG model.
  
  This causes any subsequent fields defined using the keyword
  LIKE and attempting to reference these qualified subfields to
  show "Unknown (0)" in the outline view, rather than reflecting
  the actual data type and length being referenced.
  

Problem conclusion

• This problem is fixed in the RD Power 8.5.1 Fix Pack.
  

Temporary fix
