PI94204: IBM DEVELOPER FOR Z SYSTEMS (IDZ) V14.1.1 WRONGLY ASKS TO SELECTA DESTINATION CONTAINER WHEN UPDATING A FILE IN 'READ-ONLY'

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• IBM Developer for z Systems - IDz - v14.1.1 wrongly asks to
  select a destination container when updating a Cobol file
  opened from the Project Explorer view when the file is defined
  as 'Read-only'.
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  
  - From the Project Explorer view set properties>Attributes for
  the .cbl file to 'Read-only'
  - Open the .cbl file using COBOL Editor
  - Attempt to update it, a popup asks to lock the file as the
  file is in 'Read-Only'
  - Select 'Don't lock file'
  - Save the changes by CTL+S, a popup will ask to select the
  destination container before saving the file.
  
  Remark : this does not happen at IDz level 14.0.0.6
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• IDZ ASKS TO SELECT A DESTINATION CONTAINER WHEN UPDATING A FILE
  THAT WAS 'READ-ONLY'
  During editing if a local project file is read- only, the
  advanced editors, PL1 and COBOL, prompt a user whether the files
  should be made writeable.
  If the file is made writeable IDz should not prompt for a new
  location if 'save' is done.
  IDz opens a 'save as' dialog if the save it attempted.
  Previous versions would complete the save to the original file
  location.
  

Problem conclusion

• A change was made to perform the save to the original file
  location  if a local file is edited and made writable.
