PH12102: ZUNIT TEST DATA ENTRY EDITOR FAILS WITH ERROR "XYZ IS NOT DEFINED IN THE DATA DIVISION."

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In IBM Developer for z Systems - IDz - v14.1.5, zUnit Test data
  entry editor fails with errors like:
  
  INQSAM1-FD is not defined in the DATA DIVISION.
  
  Error happens when a File Descriptor name is used in a call
  statement instead of its record name.
  
  For example with:
  
         FILE-CONTROL.
             SELECT  INQSAM1-FD      ASSIGN TO INDD1.
  
         DATA DIVISION.
         FILE SECTION.
        *
         FD  INQSAM1-FD
             LABEL RECORDS ARE STANDARD
             BLOCK CONTAINS 0 RECORDS
             RECORDING MODE V.
         01 INPUT-REC.
             05 VALUETXT1 PIC X(3354).
  
  ...
  
  PROCEDURE DIVISION.
        * MAIN.
             DISPLAY "Start"
              OPEN INPUT  INQSAM1-FD
        *
             CALL 'MYPROG' USING INQSAM1-FD.
  

Local fix

• It works when using the record name instead of FD name.
  
  For example:
  
  CALL 'MYPROG' USING INPUT-REC.
  

Problem summary

• zUnit Test case editor fails in opening when a File Descriptor
  name is used in a call statement instead of its record name.
  

Problem conclusion

• CALL .... BY REFERENCE file-name  : This is to pass a data
  control block(DBC) to assembler programs. zUnit has been
  corrected so that the file-name would not be extracted as a
  parameter.
  

Temporary fix
