PM05546: Rational Developer System z,Invalid IRZ0302S exception thrown wh en REDEFINES items exist in COBOL structure

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• '..IRZ0302S Language structure to XML conversion could not
  complete in program E9O because the length prefix of language
  structure IO-MSG-AREA specified a length of 31706 bytes, which
  is less than the structure's minimum length of 128004 bytes...'
  
  RDz is including redefining items when computing the minimum
  length of the structure when generating the converters. This is
  not correct behavior.

Local fix

Problem summary

• RDz is including redefining items when computing the minimum
  length of COBOL language structures; this is not correct
  behavior.
  

Problem conclusion

• The minimum length computation for COBOL language structures
  will exclude redefining items.
  The problem listed in this APAR has been resolved with
  IBM Rational Developer for System z V7.6.1 Refresh Pack which
  is available from the Recommended Fixes support download page:
