Error description

  • Rational Developer for System z 8.5 and 9.0 - RDz - If variable
    within a copybook with 'REPLACING' has numeric prefix, COBOL
    parser flags statement invalid.
    
    When a COBOL COPY statement includes the REPLACING verb and the
    copybook contains variable definition with a numeric prefix, the
    parser flags the statement invalid. For example, consider a
    COBOL program having the following statement:
    
    COPY TEST1 REPLACING ==:Tag:== BY ==TEST==.
    
    and the TEST1 COPYBOOK contains the following variable:
    
           01 TEST-VAR.
                  10  15-:Tag:-SEG-ID                  PIC X(5).
    
    This COPY statement will be flagged in error with the following
    annotation:
    
    - Copybook 'TEST1' contains the following error: '15-' is
    invalid.
