Error description

• Rational Developer for System z 9.0.1 User Build fails with
  IGYOS4054-E when using OPTFILE compile parameter.
  
  IGYOS4054-E THE "OPTFILE" OPTION WAS SPECIFIED IN THE "SYSOPTF"
  FILE.
  THIS SPECIFICATION OF "OPTFILE" WAS IGNORED.
  
  Problem is that the OPTFILE is specified in the in-line JCL for
  SYSOPTF DD. This specification is needed for RTC builds but
  should be ignored for user builds.
  
  The reason is that in an RTC build, if you want to use SYSOPTF
  DD, you need to:
  1- specify the OPTFILE parameter on the default options field
     of your translator definition
  2- define a SYSOPTF DD allocation
  
  But when performing a user build with such configuration, RDz
  generates a JCL like
  //STEP1 EXEC PGM=IGYCRCTL,
  // PARM='OPTFILE'
  //SYSOPTF DD DATA,DLM='@@'
  ADATA
  EX(ADX(ELAXMGUX))
  OPTFILE
  @@
  
  RDz user build considers anything specify on the "Default
  options" of the translator as content for the SYSOPTF inline DD.
  So if OPTFILE is specified then it is added to the inline
  SYSOPTF DD
  

Local fix

• Temporary remove OPTFILE from the default options field when
  submitting a user build
  

Problem summary

• The following is a COBOL specific description.  Similar issues
  exist for PLI and C/C++.
  
  Currently the User Build JCL generation code always specifies
  the OPTFILE compiler option and generates a SYSOPTF DD statement
  with inline options.  This can conflict with user defined
  options files.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code has been modified to honor a user specified options
  file.  In addition, any options specified in the translator
  "Default options" field are placed in a PARM= statement.
  
  The problem listed in this APAR has been resolved with
  IBM Rational Developer for System z V9.0.1.6 Fix Pack which
  is available from the Recommended Fixes support download page:
