PM56528: PL/I includes not resolved in LPEX Editor

Rational Developer for System z 8.5

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Opening a PL/I include file in LPEX which in turn has copy
  statements referring to other files does no longer cause error
  messages (unable to find include file xxx) from the real time
  syntax checker.
  
  If the include file could be resolved, then variables declared
  in the include files could appear in the content assistant.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• USERS AFFECTED:
  RD/z users who use RD/z to edit PL/I  or COBOL programs and open
  copybooks or include files with the Open Declaration or Open
  Copy Member (Open Include File for PL/I) editor actions.
  ****************************************************************
  *
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  When editing COBOL or PL/I programs in RD/z, users can use the
  Open Declaration and Open Copy Member actions (Open Include File
  for PL/I). If the opened copybook had copy statements in it, or
  the include file had include statements in it, the real-time
  syntax check was reporting a warning that the file could not be
  found.
  

Problem conclusion

• The RD/z real-time syntax check for COBOL and PL/I correctly
  handles nested include files and nested copybooks when the Open
  Declaration, Open Copy Member, or Open Include File actions are
  used.
  
  The problem listed in this APAR has been resolved with
  IBM Rational Developer for System z V8.0.3.2 Fix Pack which
  is available from the Recommended Fixes support download page:
