Error description

• When a concatenation with a temporary dataset is used in SYSLIN
  with an IBM Rational Team Concert 4.0.3 (RTC) translator, IBM
  Rational Developer for System z 9.0.1 (RDz) user build generates
  an incorrect JCL.
  
  For example, if an RTC link translator, SYSLIN, is defined as a
  concatenation of &&TEMPOBJ and DB2.VR1M0.SDSNLOAD(DSNELI), the
  RDz user build should generates a JCL similar to
  
  //SYSLIN DD DSN=&&TEMPOBJ,
  //           DISP=SHR
  //       DD DSN=DB2.VR1M0.SDSNLOAD(DSNELI),
  //           DISP=SHR
  
  Instead, the user build generates the following JCL:
  
  //SYSLIN DD DSN=DB2.VR1M0.SDSNLOAD,
  //           DISP=SHR
  

Local fix

• Manually edit the JCL created by the user build to correct the
  issues.
  

Problem summary

• The JCL generation code was not handling temporary datasets in
  concatenations or dealing with member names when specified in
  the dataset definition.
  

Problem conclusion

• Both omissions have been remedied.
  
  The problem listed in this APAR has been resolved with
  IBM Rational Developer for System z V9.0.1.4 Fix Pack which
  is available from the Recommended Fixes support download page:
