PM43039: Generated Java includes extra argument with error constructor CharItem(String, int, int, boolean, int, String) is undefined

Rational Business Developer Fix Pack 8 (7.5.1.8) for 7.5.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Environment: Windows
  Product name: IBM? Rational? Business Developer
  
  Program Version    :  8.0.1.1
  Description.
  After successful migration from VAGen to EGL an error is
  produced in the associated Java generated code with a specific
  application.
  
  Example entry in EGL code which produces the erroneous statement
  in Java code:
  RESULTAAT = VGLib.concatenateWithSeparator(BN504U1.OBJECT-RIJ,
  BNUASPB-WS.BNMBBEDRAG, ';');
  
  Generates in Java code as the following snippet of the relating
  line:
  ezeProgram.BNUASPB_002dWS.RESULTAAT.setValue(
  ezeProgram.eze$getegl__vg__VGLib().concatenateWithSeparator(
  ezeProgram,ezeProgram.BN504U1.OBJECT_002dRIJ,
  com.ibm.javart.operations.Assign.run( ezeProgram, new
  com.ibm.javart.CharItem( 'source',
  com.ibm.javart.Value.SQL_NOT_NULLABLE, 13, true, 4, 'C13;' )
  
  The error problems view for the Java code is then shown as: The
  constructor CharItem(String, int, int, boolean, int, String) is
  undefined.
  
  The quick fix option in the source editor will identify that the
  CharItem has an 'extra' int argument added as above ie
  new com.ibm.javart.CharItem( 'source',
  com.ibm.javart.Value.SQL_NOT_NULLABLE, 13, true, 4, 'C13;' )
  Removing the int argument via the quick fix option will also
  resolve the error.

  ****************************************************************
  Incorrect Java code is generated when the function
  VGLib.concatenateWithSeparator is called, the first argument
  is a char variable, and the second argument is a num
  variable.
