Error description

  • In Rational Developer for System z - RDz - v9.1.1.1, the
    System Z data editor doesn't give any warning or error when a
    user edits a dataset whose format is not supported.
    
    Steps to reproduce:
    
    - open a fixed block sequential dataset with a record length of
    more than 4500 columns
    - observes that nothing is displayed, System Z data editor area
    is blank
    
    This is caused by Eclipse limitation and a request for
    enhancement exists to address this issue:

    CR_ID=20023
    

Local fix

  • Opening the dataset in LPEX may be a possible workaround.
