PH27551: IDZ PLI PREPROCESSING FAILS WITH ERROR IBM1917I WHEN FIRST LINE CONTAINS DBCS CHARACTERS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In IBM Developer for z/OS - IDz - v14.2.3, PLI preprocessing
  fails with the below errors when the first line of the program
  contains DBCS characters and right numbering:
  
  T6SOSI.pli(0:2) : IBM1917I S Program contains no valid source
  lines.
  T6SOSI.pli(1:2) : IBM1859I S The first statement must be a
  PROCEDURE or PACKAGE statement.
  T6SOSI.pli(5:2) : IBM1859I S The first statement must be a
  PROCEDURE or PACKAGE statement.
  T6SOSI.pli(8:2) : IBM1859I S The first statement must be a
  PROCEDURE or PACKAGE statement.
  T6SOSI.pli(10:2) : IBM1859I S The first statement must be a
  PROCEDURE or PACKAGE statement.
  T6SOSI.pli(1:2) : IBM1352I E The statement element 01234567 is
  invalid. The statement will be ignored.
  
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  
  1- create a PLI program member with the following code and code
  page IBM-1364:
  
  /************안ë
  •í•˜ì„¸ìš” 세계
  **********************************/01234567
  /************above says Hello World
  *********************************/01234567
  T6SOSI: PROC() OPTIONS(MAIN);
  
     DCL MYVAR1 CHAR(2);
  
  
     DISPLAY("for case TS003893493");
  
  END T6SOSI;
  
  2- edit it in PLI editor and select menu Source > Preprocessor
  Statements > Identify using configured preprocessors
  3- observe the above errors
  

Local fix

• remove the right numbering on the first line.
  

Problem summary

• This problem occurs because the first line is read before
  options processing is complete (because options may be specified
   on the first lines via %PROCESS statements), and so the first
  was being read without the special processing for Korean source
  in UTF-8.
  

Problem conclusion

• PL/I importer fixed to do special processing initially before
  reading the first line.
  

Temporary fix
