  it)?
  Yes, I've tried to reproduce this already
  
  6. If development can reproduce the problem it will improve the

  First you must change settings.
  1) Window ? Preferences ? Importer ? COBOL
  2) Go to 'Other COBOL options' tab
  3) Highlight the '.ccp' extension and click 'Edit'
  4) Change to 'Data structures only'
  
  Instructions to reproduce:
  1) Create new Java Project
  2) Create new Package
  3) Right-click Package
  4) New ? Other ? CICS/IMS Java Data Binding
  5) Import customer's '89225.082.000Get_Referenced_Client_Output_
  wccl1171.ccp'
  6) Wait for automatic build.
  7) Error shown in the zipped screenshot is shown.
  
  7. Are the test-case/related files(logs directory for IM issues,
   screen-shots) attached to the ER?
  Yes, I've attached both my log as well as the customer's log.
  As well, I've attached the customer's .ccp file and screenshots
  of the error.
  Note: If you import without changing the 'Other COBOL options',
  you get the error that is shown in
  SCREENSHOT1.JPG
  
  8.Does the customer have a work around? If yes, provide details.
  No workaround as of yet.
  
  9. When did this start happening? Did this always happen? What c

  10. Did you search servdb, rsearch, consult the SME? Any helpful
   results?
  Yes, no results.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• The data bindings are not properly generated as the offset
  formulas are being generated incorrectly when there is a
  REDEFINE in an ODO clause which follows another ODO clause.
  

Problem conclusion

• Data bindings are generated correctly once we fixed the
  offset formulas when there is a REDEFINE in an ODO clause
  which follows another ODO clause.
