Error description

  • Rational Developer for System z 8.5.1 - RDz - Preprocessor
    Statement ? Identify Preprocessor Statements action for COBOL
    and PL/I language development may not identify preprocessor text
    insertions at end of the program.
    
    When performing 'Preprocessor Statement ? Identify Preprocessor
    Statements' action on COBOL or PL/I program, RDz may not
    identify preprocessor text insertions at the very end of the
    program.
    
    If a preprocessor of this type is configured in the Editor
    Configurations of Property group, real-time syntax warnings may
    appear if the missing transformation is required to successfully
    parse the program, and certain features may not be available due
    to the parser not initializing successfully.
    
    Local Fix:
    Add comment line as last statement in program source so that
    preprocessor statements are added prior to it.
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • If a preprocessor transformation inserts text after the last
    line of a program, the Identify Preprocessor actions will not
    identify the transformation.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The actions have been updated so that now if a preprocessor
    transformation inserts text after the last line of a program,
    then the last line of the program will be identified as a
    preprocessor statement transformation that includes the last
    line of the program plus any additional lines inserted by the
    preprocessor transformation.
    
    The problem listed in this APAR has been resolved with
    IBM Rational Developer for System z V8.5.1.1 Fix Pack which
    is available from the Recommended Fixes support download page:
