Error description

• Rational Developer for System z - RDz - v9.1.1.3 PLI Real Syntax
  wrongly flags a reference with the LIKE attribute when there are
  duplicate variables names defined.
  Error "Enable to resolve reference to xxx" is shown.
  
  Example :
  DCL 1 STRUC2,
        2 STRUC2,
         3 SUBSTRUC,
           5 ITEM1 CHAR(8),
           5 ITEM2 CHAR(8);
  DCL 1 STRUC2_INIT LIKE STRUC2;
  STRUC2_INIT.SUBSTRUC.ITEM1 = ' ';
  
  "Enable to resolve reference to ITEM1" is shown.
  

Local fix

• Change the variable name to have only one instance.
  

Problem summary

• RDz's PL/I parser did not handle LIKE attributes correctly when
  the attribute referenced a symbol declared in more than one
  place.
  

Problem conclusion

• Modified PL/I parser to distinguish between references with the
  same name in LIKE attributes.
  
  The problem listed in this APAR has been resolved with
  IBM Rational Developer for System z V9.1.1.4 Fix Pack which
  is available from the Recommended Fixes support download page:
