If you attempt to generate jcl and there is never a dialog stating that, "JCL was successfully generated", then you should check the .log file, which is found in for the workspace\.metadata folder, for an error such as this: !ENTRY com.ibm.ftt.language.manager.impl 4 0 2015-05-22 11:40:51.371 !MESSAGE problem occured in run() method !STACK 0 java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "test" at java.lang.NumberFormatException.forInputString at java.lang.Integer.parseInt at java.lang.Integer.<init> at com.ibm.ftt.ui.actions.jcl.internal.utils.ZOSGenerationUtil.writ eLinkStep at com.ibm.ftt.language.manager.impl.actions.PBJCLGenAction.doPhysi calGeneration at com.ibm.ftt.language.manager.impl.actions.PBJCLGenAction.run ....

Local fix
Remove any non-numeric characters from the field, "How Many existing link library data sets precede this entry?" on the Link tab of the property group.
Problem summary
The field "How Many existing link library data sets precede this entry?" on the Link tab of the Property Group editor, was intended to only allow for numeric values, however the text entry field did not previously do any type of restriction. It allowed all characters to be entered.
Problem conclusion
The field "How Many existing link library data sets precede this entry?" on the Link tab of the Property Group editor, has now been modified to only accept numeric values. The problem listed in this APAR has been resolved with IBM Rational Developer for System z V9.1.1.3 Fix Pack which is available from the Recommended Fixes support download page: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=2294&uid=swg27006335
