JR38027: IF RULE IS BOUND TO A GLOBAL VAR SPEC ADD'L OUTPUT COL RESULTS IN INCORRECT OUTPUT TABLE GEN CAUSES FAILURE VIEWING OUTPUT

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• I was able to reproduce the issue.
  The issue exists only in the specific case outlined below (both
  in 8.5 and 8.1.2).
  
  Create a datarule using a global variable.
  In the output definition, in addition to the global variable,
  specify additional source columns as output columns.
  Due to a bug in the job creation code, the output table (_data
  table) is created with just a column corresponding to the global
  variable but does not have any columns corresponding to the
  additional output columns that were specified.
  View Results results in a failure as it is also looking for the
  other output columns in the _data table.
  
  I have identified the issue. We should be able to build a patch
  if needed.
  
  Regards,
  Anu.
