Error description
In Rational Developer for z Systems version 9.5.1.1 iFix2, in a PL/I source, when a defined alias or a defined structure name is re-used, the real time syntax check may display an ambiguous reference warning. Here is an example: define alias exp float bin(53); define structure 1 abcd ,2 exp fixed bin(31); dcl 1 exp_env, 2 env1 type exp; <-- ambiguous reference to exp And here is an example for the defined structure resulting in an ambiguous reference warning: define structure 1 exp2 unaligned , 3 strings char(3); define structure 1 record union , 2 test , 3 exp2 type exp2; <<-- ambiguous reference to exp2 The same problem exists in RDz 9.5.1.2, 9.5.1.3, IDz 14.0.0.2 and 14.0.0.3.
Local fix
Problem summary
When the type of a declared PL/I data element matches the name of a part of a defined structure, the PL/I real time syntax checker incorrectly warns of an ambiguous reference.
Problem conclusion
Modified the reference resolution code to correctly distinguish between types and parts of types. The problem listed in this APAR has been resolved with IBM Rational Developer for z Systems V9.5.1.4 Fix Pack which is available from the Recommended Fixes support download page: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=2294&uid=swg27006335
