PH26026: IDZ V14.2.0 ZUNIT GENERATED TESTCASE FAILS TO COMPILE WITH ERROR IGYGR1239-S DURING ZUNIT BUILD

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In IBM Developer for z/OS (IDz) v14.2.0, during the zUnit
  generation of a test case, the value of a conditional variable
  incorrectly includes the sequence number of a THRU clause. This
  in turn will result in the compiler error IGYGR1239-S  with IBM
  COBOL v6 during the zUnit build step. Here is an example of the
  COBOL statement causing the compiler error:
  
  001100         88  PRINTER      VALUE 'PRT1'
  001200                                                 THRU
  'PRT9'.
  
  The compiler error can be seen in the listing file and the
  joblog output as shown below:
  
  IGYGR1239-S Level-88 "VALUE" literal "00120" was not compatible
  with the data category of the conditional variable.  The literal
  was discarded.
  
  The same issue has been observed with IDz client v14.2.2.
  

Local fix

• Remove the sequence number from the THRU clause before
  generating the zUnit test case.
  

Problem summary

• During the zUnit generation of a test case, the value of a
  conditional variable incorrectly includes the sequence number of
   a THRU clause. This in turn will result in the compiler error
  IGYGR1239-S  with IBM COBOL v6 during the zUnit build step.
  

Problem conclusion

• Changed to output the condition variables correctly without
  outputting the sequence number when generating test cases.
  

Temporary fix
