Error description

  • In IDz, the user includes two different variables in the COBOL
Editor:
1.) DB2LVE.LVE_...MERK, which has a period (.) after DB2LVE and
2.) DB2LVE-LVE_...MERK, which has a hyphen (-) after DB2LVE.

Both are valid variables. However, COBOL editor does not
recognize the variable followed by a period
(DB2LVE.LVE_...MERK). This results in the following error
message:
Multiple markers at this line
- "ERROR_TOKEN" unexpected tokens ignored
- "IN" expected instead of this input

Both are valid variables and the COBOL editor should not throw
an Error Token for this editor.

Please reference file BECKYC.ANDRE.COBOL(PTSSIDB)
