APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• IBM Rational Developer for System z - RDz - v9.5.1
  IBM Developer for z Systems - IDz - v14
  
  PLI editor flags any lines that reference CICS fields, such as
  EIBRESP, as errors because the include files are not found
  for local projects.
  
  For example, in a PLI program with the following code:
    if EIBRESP = 0 then Response='successful';
  
  That statement is flagged with:
  "the declaration for EIBRESP is not found".
  

Local fix

• Add an include to the program for a CICS control block that
  contains this declaration and
  add the path for that include file to the syslib path of the
  associated property group.
  
  For instance, adding the following line will resolve the error
  -INC CICS_EIB;
  
  As long as that include file is in the syslib for
  associated property group.
  

Problem summary

• The RDz PL/I parser did not automatically resolve the built-in
  CICS data declarations.
  

Problem conclusion

• Modified the PL/I parser to automatically resolve the built-in
  CICS data declarations.
  
  The problem listed in this APAR has been resolved with
  IBM Rational Developer for z Systems V9.5.1.6 Fix Pack which
  is available from the Recommended Fixes support download page:
