PM67867: Rational Developer for System z (RDz) : Content Assist for PLI Handles with a '=?' operator does not display all the members

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Content Assist in PL/1 program after a Handle with  an ?=??
  operator
  pointing to an XML structure does not list all members of the
  XML structure asexpected.
  
  
  Let?sconsider the following snippet :
  
  DEFINESTRUCTURE
        1 XML_NODE;
        5NAME            CHAR(50)VAR,
        5ID             BIN FIXED(31),
        5ATTRIB          PTR,
        5 NAMESPACES      PTR,
        5DATA            PTR,
        5DATASIZE        BIN FIXED(31),
        5PARENT          PTR,
        5 FIRSTCHILD      PTR,
        5 LASTCHILD      PTR,
        5 NEXTSIBLING     PTR;
  
   dcl    struct1            typeXML_NODE;
   dcl     doesntworks_handle  handle XML_NODE;
  
         struct1.NAME = '1';
  
         doesntworks_handle =?
  If you hit CTRL + SPACE key after  ?doesntworks_handle=? ?, the
  Content Assist
  gives the following choices:  doesn'tworks_handle,struct1, and
  XML_NODE.
  Content Assist does not give any XML members as expected such as
   NAME ,ID, ATTRIB ?
