Error description
In RDz v9.0.1 the rule "Use INITIAL with STATIC data declaration" flags a level 1 declaration even if all sublevels are initialized. For example, in code snippet: DCL 1 TESTR2 STATIC, 3 TESTR CHAR(5) INIT('ABCDE'), 3 FILLER_02 CHAR(5) INIT('ABCDE'); TESTR2 is flagged.
Local fix
Problem summary
The PL/I rule "Use INITIAL with STATIC data declarations" ignores levels and will incorrectly mark a static data declaration when all of its sublevels are initialized.
Problem conclusion
Modified the PL/I rule "Use INITIAL with STATIC data declarations" to not mark a static data declaration that has all of its sublevels initialized. 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: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=2294&uid=swg27006335
