Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When customers run scans in batch, they may have made a mistake
  in the configuration so that no actual source members are

  01.Symbolics are not recognized as integer literals.
  02.COBOL parser fails to recognized LENGTH without IN/OF.
  03.When analyzing a program with multiple nested programs using
     a custom COBOL code rule, reference resolution error
     messages may be issued.
  04.When an extension map does not correctly identify the
     language of specified PDS members, it is difficult for a
     customer to tell whether a scan succeeded with no results or
     if there were no PDS members scanned.
  

Problem conclusion

• 01.Modified COBOL parser so that symbolics are recognized as
     integer literals.
  02.Modified COBOL parser to recognize LENGTH without IN/OF.
  03.Modified the code that populates the CAM API model to
     properly handle global symbol references in nested programs.
  04.Added a message to alert a customer when no PDS members have
     been scanned.
