       directing statements in columns 1-6.
    05.The RDz PL/I parser does not support a split concatenation
       token when the default characters for the concatenation
       token have been overridden using the OR compiler option.
    06.The RDz CICS statement parser does not recognize some valid
       CVDA values in the DFHVALUE macro.
    07.The RDz SQL parser does not recognize the not symbol
    08.The RDz PL/I parser does not support the XMLATTR and XMLOMIT
       attributes.
    09.The RDz CICS parser does not support the BACKLOG,

    13.The RDz COBOL parser did not support the "IN" keyword for
       LENGTH IN/OF special registers.
    14.There is a defect in the RDz PL/I parser that causes the
       parser to support a very limited set of directives before
       the first procedure declaration.
    15.The RDz PL/I parser did not support macro references as
       declare statement attributes.

       handle a mix of environment clauses and other special names
       clauses within the special names paragraph.
    18.There was a regression issue in RDz COBOL parser when the
       CICS support was added that caused error annotations when

Problem conclusion

  • 01.Introduce LIST parameter to allow multiple PDS analysis.
    02.Introduce SYSLIB parameter to reduce dependency on RDz
       client exports
    03.The RDz CICS statement parser was modified to support all
       valid CVDA values.
    04.The RDz COBOL parser was modified to support CBL and PROCESS
       compiler directing statements in columns 1-6.
    05.The RDz PL/I parser was modified to support split
       concatenation tokens, even when the default characters are
       overridden using the OR compiler option.
    06.The RDz CICS statement parser was modified to support all
       valid CVDA values.
    07.The RDz SQL parser was modified to recognize the not symbol
    08.The RDz PL/I parser was modified to support the XMLATTR and
       XMLOMIT attributes.
    09.The RDz CICS parser was modified to support the BACKLOG,
       MAXDATALEN, and CLIENTADDR options.
    10.Modified RDz's PL/I parser to accept defined structures with
       array bounds specified.
    11.Modified RDz's PL/I Parser to accept alignment attributes in
       entry descriptions.
    12.RDz CICS parser modified to support SPACE keyword.
    13.Modified RDz COBOL parser to support the "IN" keyword for
       LENGTH IN/OF special registers.
    14.Fixed defect in PL/I parser that did not support several
       preprocessor statements outside the context of a procedure.
    15.Fixed a defect in the RDz PL/I parser that caused the parser
       not to support macro references as declare statement
       attributes.
    16.Fixed defect in code review results reporting that listed
       code rule violations found in include files as occuring in
       the parent program.
    17.Fixed defect in RDz COBOL parser that could not handle mix
       of environment clauses and other special names clauses
       within the special names paragraph.
    18.Fixed a regression defect in RDz COBOL parser that was not
       handling NEW and OLD key words.
    19.Removed extraneous sysout messages
    20.Fixed return codes for code metrics threshold violations
    21.Introduce progress messages in SYSOUT and log during scan
