PH68964: The default value for the z/OS Connect Gradle plug-in property "wideComp3" is incorrectly documented as "YES".

APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• In section "The API provider Gradle plug-in generator options".
  the z/OS Connect documentation states that if the wideComp3
  Gradle attribute is not specified, the default value is YES.
  
  However when running build from command line, the following
  message, written to the build output, shows the opposite:
  DFHPI9609I Parameter "WIDE-COMP3" has value "NO"
  
  Additional keywords: DFHPI9609 msgDFHPI9609 msgDFHPI9609I
  WIDE-COMP3
  

Local fix

• set the attribute explicitly in options.yaml when  wideComp3
  should be YES.

  ****************************************************************
  The default value for the z/OS Connect Gradle plug-in property
  "wideComp3" is documented as "YES". Running a build that uses
  the z/OS Connect Gradle plug-in and does not specify a value for
  the wideComp3 property in the options.yaml file reports the
  following message:
  DFHPI9609I Parameter "WIDE-COMP3" has value "NO"
  
  The generated artifact behaves as if created with the property
  for wideComp3 set to "NO".
  

Problem conclusion

• The z/OS Connect documentation will be updated with the
  following change for the API provider Gradle plug-in generator
  optional attribute wideComp3:
  
  The default is NO.
  
  This change will be made in the z/OS Connect V3.0.100.0.
  documentation.
