PM48335: RDz Local Syntax Check Problem if COPYbooks not in SYSLIB

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• There is an issue with Local Syntax checking.
  
  The problem is with the parsing of the Additional JCL to create
  the environment variables necessary for the local syntax check.
  When copy files come from libraries other than SYSLIB, and more
  than one library is specified, all of the environment variables
  are not generated properly.
  
  When running a Local Syntax Check it uses the SYSLIB plus the
  first DD present in the 'Additional JCL' box of the 'Procedures
  and Steps' entry for COBOL programs.
  If the user codes a COPY book using the 'IN ?some DD
  identifier?' format, the DD name must match the name in the code
  for the compiler to count the item as being found.
  Since the Local Syntax Check appears to look at only the first
  DD, they are only finding the items in that file, and only if
  the 'IN' parameter matches the DD name.  Example syntax -
  COPY BOOK1 IN DDNAME1.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• The parsing of the DD statements needs to change to ensure that
  all of the environment variables get set properly.
  

Problem conclusion

• Parsing has changed, and will be included in 8.0.3.
  
  The problem listed in this APAR has been resolved with
  IBM Rational Developer for System z V8.0.3 Refresh Pack which
  is available from the Recommended Fixes support download page:
