SE55957: RDP 9.0.0 PROMPTING WRONG COMMANDS IN CL RESULTS IN MULTIPLE MESSAGES

Rational Developer for i 9.0.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If you prompt multiple times for a misspelt CL command when you
  press Enter on the line you will see messages for all the errors
  not just the current one (if any).
  
  To reproduce with RDI  9.0.0:
  - Enable the Automatic syntax checking for the CL parser
  - Create a new CL source member (probably not req'd but it
  simplifies things)
  - Type in abc and press F4
  - Press enter to cancel the error
  - Backspace to the start and then type in def and press F4
  - Press enter to cancel the error
  - Backspace to the start and then type in gjh and press F4
  - Press enter to cancel the error
  - Press enter to insert a new line - Three error lines are
  inserted reporting the three unknown commands (see attached
  screen capture of the result)
  - Cursor back up to the line with gjh and press enter - now NO
  errors are reported even though gjh is not a CL command
  
  This problem exists in RDP 8.5.1 as well

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Those who edit and prompt CL commands.       *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Extra syntax errors would be shown      *
  *                      when editing CL source.                 *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  Syntax error messages were not being shown immediately (and
  cleared) when the line was checked; but were queueing up and
  then shown together with messages from later checks, giving
  the appearance of duplicate error messages.
  

Problem conclusion

• This problem is fixed in the RDi 9.0.1 update.
