APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In RDz v9.1.1 if a PL/I program contains embedded CICS language
  statements and those statements contain reference to an array
  element, it is not parsed correctly and the editor is unable to
  handle
  variable references. For example pressing PF3 after selecting a
  variable may not show the declaration of that variable.
  
  For example:
    EXEC CICS
  
            FREEMAIN
  
            DATAPOINTER (MQDatHnt(I).DataPtr)
  
            NOHANDLE;
    END EXEC.
  
  This is a valid statement, but it causes the PL/I editor to show
  variable references incorrectly.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• RDz's CICS statement parser does not handle PL/I subscripts in
  host references correctly.
  

Problem conclusion

• Modified CICS statement parser to handle PL/I subscripts in host
  references.
  
  The problem listed in this APAR has been resolved with
  IBM Rational Developer for System z V9.1.1.2 Fix Pack which
  is available from the Recommended Fixes support download page:
