Error description
In Rational Developer for System z - RDz - v9.5, elements edited from a Variable Block (VB) Endevor dataset using enhanced edit are truncated. Problem happens if the VB dataset uses subscript in the symbolic of the TYPE dataset name. CARMAlog will show entries like: EndevorRAM: The Source Length from the TYPE definition is: 04092 EndevorRAM: Getting the base dataset name from ->&C1EN(1,1).BASE<- EndevorRAM: Parsing Dataset name ->&C1EN(1,1).BASE<- for symbolic values. EndevorRAM: Part prior to symbolic variable is: -><- EndevorRAM: Resolve symbolic variable found starting at: ->C1EN(1,1).BASE<- EndevorRAM: Empty or Unrecognized Symbolic name found in dataset name: &C1EN(1,1).BASE RDz can handle &C1EN in the dataset name, but it does not handle &C1EN(1,1).
Local fix
There is no known workaround at this time.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: 01.RDz users who access the Endevor * * repository using the IBM supplied RDz * * Endevor RAM, and who edit or browse * * elements that are of variable record * * length. * * 02.All COBOL V4 Integrated Debugger users. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: 01.In RDz, elements edited * * from a VB Endevor dataset using * * enhanced edit are truncated. * * 02.While debugging a program in * * Rational Developer for System z * * V9.5.1, the debugger stops on a * * comment line instead of instruction * * line when using 'Step Into'. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** 01.The record format and length of the element was not properly determined in some cases, causing the wrong record length to be used when extracting the element for viewing in the editor. 02.When debugging COBOL V4, where the listings include ASA control characters, the debugger appears to stop on invalid lines.
Problem conclusion
01.The RDz code was modified to properly get the record format and length of the element that is being edited. 02.The Integrated Debugger engine was updated to correctly process the ASA control characters in the COBOL V4 listing, so that stepping functions as expected.
