APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • IBM Explorer for z/OS - zExpl
JCL editor Real Time Syntax Check, RTSC, flags
a name that is concatenated with a variable name as invalid.

For example, define a variable &ENV1 as 1 and set include
 member to use that variable:
// SET ENV=1
//         INLUCDE MEMBER=CA&ENV1.ENV

The include line is flagged stating that CA&ENV1.ENV is invalid

Local fix

  • None available

Problem summary

  • In the z/OS Explorer JCL editor, INCLUDE MEMBER statements that
referenced a value composed of a symbolic concatenated with
string literals such as CA&ENV1.ENV would produce a syntax
error.

Problem conclusion

  • The z/OS Explorer JCL editor parser has been updated to allow
symbolics concatenated with string literals in INCLUDE MEMBER
statements.

Temporary fix
