Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: Rational Developer for System z version 9.1.1 users who are remotely debugging COBOL or PL/I source. **************************************************************** PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: While remotely debugging COBOL or PL/I source code the user decides to use the Show In > Program Control Flow menu action. The view will show but the diagram is not be generated. This occurs when the action is chosen from the source that is being debugged. ****************************************************************
Problem conclusion
The Program Control Flow view was not working correctly when opened from source that is being debugged. To work around the issue the original source file can be opened using the COBOL editor or the PL/I editor, outside of the debugger. From that edit session the Show In > Program Control Flow menu action can be used to successfully view the diagram. The view will be modified to fix the scenario described in the Problem Description to also allow the diagram to be viewed from the source that is being debugged. The problem listed in this APAR has been resolved with IBM Rational Developer for System z V9.1.1.3 Fix Pack which is available from the Recommended Fixes support download page: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=2294&uid=swg27006335
