JR34264: WARNING MESSAGE HAS NO MESSAGE (EMPTY) ON THE JOB, SEQ -> TRANS.-> SEQ., WHEN THE JOB REFERES UNDEFINED USER-DEFINED ROUTINE.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Customer has a simple job, Seq. file ---> Transformer ---> Seq.
  file.
  In the following case, warning message is output but it has no
  message (empty) and customer cannot determine what happens.
  
  - routine A and routine B, both are User-defined routines
  - routine B is called from routine A
  - when routine B is not in the project (not yet defined) and
  routine A is called from the job (actually from Transformer),
  warning message is logged.
  
  On DS7.0.1, in the same case, we have the following messages in
  the job log: (sorry, original message is in Japanese, I
  translated into English. So wording might not be accurate...)
