PH33350: IBM DEVELOPER FOR Z/OS® 14.2.3.2 ISSUES RIGHTFULLY A MESSAGE BUTTHE MESSAGE IS NOT EXPLICIT AT ALL.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• IBM Developer for z/OS 14.2.3.2
  zUnit -> Create/Modify testCase fails when
  
  Program contains:
  004400 77 DB2-ERR-TEXT-LEN     PIC S9(8) COMP VALUE +80.
  004500
  005700     EXEC SQL
  005800        INCLUDE SQLCA
  005900     END-EXEC.
  
  But SQLCA begins with
  05 SQLCA.
      10 SQLCAID PIC ...
  ...
  
  which is wrong. It should begin with 01 SQLCA or
  05 SQLCA should be preceded by a Level 01.
  
  zUnit fails with
  emptyStackException
