PM57360: RDz LPEX Editor gets closed after debug session

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• APAR Error Description:
  Abstract: In Rational Developer for System Z (RDz) version
  8.0.3, when stopping a debug session, RDz will close the editor
  containing the source being debugged but also the last PL/I
  source edited.
  Problem: Problem seems to appear on second debug session.
  
  1) Connect to RDz host
  2) Create a new z/OS project and subproject
  3) Edit a PL/I program like MYSOURCE.PLI(TSTPLI1) with the LPEX
  editor
  4) Generate JCL for Compile/Link/Go for program
  5) Submit the JCL
  6) When debugger has started and is waiting at first line of
  TSTPLI1: stop it
  7) Editor TSTPLI1.pli gets closed
  
  If after step 3 another editor source file is open (for example
  a JCL), at step 7 it is the last editor that gets closed (ie the
  JCL).
  
  Local fix:
  There is no known workaround at this time.
