APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • When building PL1 program in AD Build Client, the logs shows
errors about  ?Syntax error: 'Scope problem
encountered.'?

Local fix

  • n.a

Problem summary

  • PL1 Preprocessor - after building some PL1 source files, certain
statement are not saved in the database and not shown in the
analyses

Problem conclusion

  • Multiple issues were found:
1. When calling a procedure with parameters, if one of the
parameters contains parentheses, the procedure call is not
parsed correctly. This was fixed by considering the parentheses
pairing to be done correctly.
2. For GOTO syntax, if the label is declared inside a DO block,
the GOTO doesn't know to jump inside a block, because it was
defined the same as a FOR block. This was fixed by adding a new
type of block definition specially for the DO block.

Fixed for 6.1.2-iFix2

Temporary fix
