Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Running DFHSC2LS can generate unecessary appends to field names
  where the scope of the field names does not require it
  
  
  e.g.
  
  06 Field,
        09 aaaaa                    FIXED DECIMAL (31,2),
  
        09 Bbbbb_num                UNSIGNED FIXED BINARY(32)
        UNALIGNED,
  
  
  
  or
  
  06 Field,
        09 aaaaa                    FIXED DECIMAL (31,2),
  
        09 Bbbbb_2num               UNSIGNED FIXED BINARY(32)

  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: DFHSC2LS with NO-ARRAY-NAME-INDEXING    *
  *                      set creates fields with unnecessary     *
  *                      numerical suffixes.                     *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  DFHSC2LS is executed to create a PL/I language structure and
  XML binding or WSDL document from an XML Schema Definition
  (XSD).  The mapping override NO-ARRAY-NAME-INDEXING is set so
  the language structure contains field names within arrays that
  are only unique within their scope.
  However, some field names in the generated language structure
  contain unneccessary numerical suffixes.  For example, the
  field name Container2_num does not need to contain the "2"
  digit:
  
   03 Message,
  
     06 Container2_num     UNSIGNED FIXED BINARY(32) UNALIGNED,
  
     06 Container,
  
       09 Text                     CHAR(255) VARYING UNALIGNED;
  

Problem conclusion

• DFHSC2LS has been modified so that when the
  NO-ARRAY-NAME-INDEXING mapping override is set, the count fields
  (_num) of repeating structures do not contain numerical values.
