Error description

  • Rational Programming Patterns - v9.5.1
    
    In some cases when using the "DUPLICATE" function from
    design explorer view on a batch program, the generation
    of the newly created program fails.
    An error box telling the generation process failed is displayed
    and a java exception is thrown :
    
    java.lang.NullPointerException
