  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • The  user installed the Rational Cobol Runtime product and
    wanted to run the customization clists.
    
    Some of the clists invoke ISREDIT MACROs.
    
    Due to the Edit profile setting (AUTOSAVE OFF) the macros could
    not update the file being edited when they exited with ISREDIT
    END command.
    
    The workaround was to add ISREDIT SAVE before the ESREDIT END
    command manually.
    
    This should be fixed in the shipped macros the same way.
    
    The macros are:
    ELACCHNG
    ELADELT
    ELSJOBCD

Problem conclusion

  • DUE TO THE EDIT PROFILE SETTING (AUTOSAVE OFF) THE MACROS COULD
    NOT UPDATE THE FILE BEING EDITED WHEN THEY EXITED WITH ISREDIT
    END COMMAND.
    
    THE WORKAROUND WAS TO ADD ISREDIT SAVE BEFORE THE ESREDIT END
    COMMAND MANUALLY.
