PI92029: IN IDZ 14.0.0.1, PROGRAM CONTROL FLOW OPENED IN COBOL EDITOR MOVED/OPENED WITH LPEX EDITOR FAILS TO OPEN IN MIDDLE FRAME

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In IBM Developer for z Systems 14.0.0.1, when Program Control
  Flow is opened in the COBOL Editor, and, after being moved and
  closed and opened again with the LPEX Editor, will fail to open
  in the middle frame.
  
  This error occurs in the workspace .log:
  
  org.eclipse.e4.core.di.InjectionException:
  java.lang.NullPointerException
  	at
  org.eclipse.e4.core.internal.di.MethodRequestor.execute(Unknown
  Source)

  To recreate:
  
  1) a)  In IDz or RDz, use a program that will open in Program
  Control Flow.
   b) Create a z/os project and subproject
   c) Add the program to the subproject
  2) Reset your perspective
  3) Open the program with COBOL editor
  
       Select Show In -> Program Control Flow-> OK
  4) Move the Program Control Flow view to beside the COBOL Editor
  with program open in the middle frame.
      The view moves but the content is still correct.
   5) Close the Program Control Flow view.
   6) Close the program.
   7) Open the program with System z LPEX Editor.
   Select Show In -> Program Control Flow.
  
   Program Control Flow opens at its last position and displays
  correctly.
   8) Close Program Control Flow view.
   9) Close the program in the System z LPEX Editor.
   10)  Open the program with the COBOL Editor.
   Select Show In -> Program Control Flow
  Content is empty and the screen shows:
  "To display the program control flow, open the supported program
  file in the editor and select the Program Control Flow in the
  Show in sub-menu."
  The error in the job log is present.
  
  This can also be recreated by this second scenario:
  1) Restart the workbench.
  2) Open the program in a z/os project.
  3) Select Window -> Show View -> Other...
  4) In the dialog, type Control to bring up a list that includes
  the Program Control Flow.
  5) Select the first Program Control Flow from that list.  It
  will open in the View section.
  6) Drag the Program Control Flow tab to be shown as an editor
  tab.
  7) Open any COBOL or PL/I program and select Show in -> Program
  Control Flow
  Program Control Flow will not show for this program.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• See error description.
  

Problem conclusion

• Now, in this scenario, if the PCF view is moved next to an
  editor and is opened to show a PCF, the PCF can show up
  correctly.
