Error description

• Rational Developer for System z - RDz - v8.5.1:
  In MFS Editor the word ALPHA is wrongly not recognized as
  a keyword, as a consequence it does not have the proper
  attributes.
  The Generate Copybook functionality does not work for MFS files
  and will generate a compile error in the ALPHA statement.

Problem summary

• MFS Editor was not recognizing ALPHA as a keyword, so it was not
  being color-coded properly in the source page. Also, when there
  is a syntax error in the ALPHA statement, the generate copybook
  action should fail and report the error instead of just not
  generating the copybook.
  

Problem conclusion

• The problem listed in this APAR has been resolved with
  IBM Rational Developer for System z V8.5.1.4 Fix Pack which
  is available from the Recommended Fixes support download page:
