Error description

• Rational Developer for System z - RDz
  Attempts to use a Menu manager with variable substitution may
  fail if the menu manager is invoked from the editor and the
  file was opened from the zOS project view.
  
  When a user does a right-click in the editor that was opened
  from the z/OS Project view, the source object is of type
  LogicalValidResource.  The Menu Manager JCL Variable
  Substitution code understands objects of type LZOSDataSetMember,
  
  LZOSDataSet, MVSFileResource and PhysicalValidResource, but not
  objects of type LogicalValidResource.
  
  
  Changes in APAR PI26565 were made to handle objects of type
  PhysicalValidResource.  In this case, the object is of type
  LogicalValidResource and is not being handled correctly.
  

Local fix

• You have 3 choices that will work:
  Open file from Remote Systems View
  Use Menu Manager from Remote Systems View
  Use Menu Manager from zOS Projects view
  

Problem summary

• Files opened in Editor via zOS Projects view fail to pass
  variables to Menu Manager
  

Problem conclusion

• The editor files are of type LogicalValidResource, and those
  types were not being handled.
  
  The problem listed in this APAR has been resolved with
  IBM Rational Developer for z Systems V9.5.1.2 Fix Pack which
  is available from the Recommended Fixes support download page:
