PM11898: EGL Debugger and generation mechanism failures with multiple tra nsfer statements

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Environment: Windows
  
  Product name: IBM? Rational? Business Developer
  
  Program Version    :  7.5.1.4
  Description.
  The EGL Debugger and generation mechanism failures when their ar
  e multiple transfer statements within the EGL code cannot be ide
  ntified.
  
  Where the transfer statements lead to multiple transfer and a pa
  rticular program within the cycle contains an error the debuggin
  g and generation of all programs that references the erroneous p
  rogram within the transfer statement directly or indirectly will
   fail with only NullPointerException dialogs.
  
  This makes it very difficult to identify the source of errors as
  sociated with each transfer statement so the debug or generation
   should indicate each erroneous program clearly referring to eac
  h transfer statement so a user can easily identify the source of
   the error.

  ****************************************************************
  NPE is thrown because a validator function is missing in one
  of the referenced programs. This should not prevent
  generation of the main part.
  

Problem conclusion

• A check was put in place to avoid the NPE
