Error description
APAR Error Description: Abstract: In Rational Business Developer (RBD) v8.0.1.2, an EGL generated COBOL program using BIDI conversion abends during call statements with quoted program names. Problem: RBD will also convert program names in call statements which lead to an error program not found at runtime. EGL Code like function main() call 'MYCALLEE2'; end will be generated as * EGL *20* Call 'MYCALLEE2'(); MOVE LOW-VALUES TO EZELGV-12-19 MOVE EZECHR-22 TO EZELFV-CNM-21 MOVE FUNCTION UPPER-CASE(EZELFV-CNM-21) TO EZEPROGM When the called program is EGL, the correct code is generated: * EGL *20* Call 'MYCALLEE1'(); MOVE LOW-VALUES TO EZELGV-12-19 MOVE 'MYCALLEE' TO EZELFV-CNM-21 Local fix: There is no known workaround at this time.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The problem occurs when the program being called is not an EGL program. The software would call the expression factory passing the name along as text. This text was then manipulated by the BIDI logic which causes text literals to be converted to right to left format. This should not happen for program names.
Problem conclusion
The software has been updated and a fixtest is available.
Temporary fix
