Error description

  • Users with IBM Developer for z v14.1.7, v14.1.9 or v14.2.1.
If a PL/I program member contains a logical NOT symbol and
the following mapping properties at the member/file level:
Host code page = IBM-1390
Local code page = UTF-8
PL/I logical NOT symbol = "!" (exclamation mark)

If the user tries to open the program with the PL/I Editor,
a pop-up with error message CRRZI0487E is displayed, after
clicking OK, the PL/I Editor fails to load the program, only
showing a ruler and a Details button. Clicking the button
shows the exception:
"java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Index out of bounds"

If the same program is opened with the LPEX editor, it should
present a warning on the line that contains the logical NOT
symbol, saying "unexpected character ignored".

Workaround:
Mapping properties can be changed by right-clicking the
program member, selecting Properties and then Mapping. There,
use the default PL/I logical NOT symbol "¬" or a symbol other
than "!", like "^".
