Error description
Remote Syntax Check for sequential DS sources results in Rational Developer for z Systems 9.1 exception while a user error message is expected. The unexpected behavior is observed when we call the remote syntax check for sequential files using shortcut "CTRL+ALT+R". Note: The shortcut "CTRL+ALT+R" is the only way to start the remote syntax check for sequential dataset. It is not possible to start "Remote Syntax Check" from the editor context menu. When executing the command the user receives the following error: An internal error occurred during: "Remote Syntax check from editor". com.ibm.ftt.resources.zos.zosphysical.impl.ZOSSequentialDataSet incompatible with com.ibm.ftt.resources.zos.zosphysical.impl.ZOSDataSetMember <workspace>\.metadata\.log shows !ENTRY org.eclipse.core.jobs 4 2 2016-09-02 11:24:13.299 !MESSAGE An internal error occurred during: "Remote Syntax check from editor". !STACK 0 java.lang.ClassCastException: com.ibm.ftt.resources.zos.zosphysical.impl .ZOSSequentialDataSetImpl incompatible with com.ibm.ftt.resources.zos.zosphysical.impl .ZOSDataSetMemberImpl at com.ibm.ftt.ui.actions.jcl.internal.utils .ZOSGenerationUtil .openJCLFileForSyntax(ZOSGenerationUtil.java:345) at com.ibm.ftt.ui.actions.jcl.internal.utils .PBPsuedoJCLGenAction.run(PBPsuedoJCLGenAction.java:108) at com.ibm.ftt.ui.actions.builders.utils .PBSyntaxUtil .invokeOperationForRemoteSyntaxCheck(PBSyntaxUtil.java:135) at com.ibm.ftt.lpex.mvs.syntaxcheck .RemoteSyntaxCheckFromEditorJob .run(RemoteSyntaxCheckFromEditorJob.java:157) at org.eclipse.core.internal.jobs.Worker.run(Worker.java:53) Steps to reproduce Open Seq dataset <hlq>.SEQDS.COBOL in COBOL editor Press Ctrl+Alt+R Note that Property groups are not supported on sequential data sets, based on the functions like Generate JCL, Show Dependencies, Syntax Check, etc. For this functionality for sequential datasets RFE 20514 exists https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe& CR_ID=20514
Local fix
None, the functionality is not supported for sequential datasets
Problem summary
Remote syntax check for source code in sequential data sets is not supported and the action has been removed from the UI but the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+R was still causing the action to be invoked and the action was failing because it assumes the source code is in a data set member.
Problem conclusion
The action now disables itself if the selected file is not a data set member. The problem listed in this APAR has been resolved with IBM Rational Developer for z Systems V9.5.1.2 Fix Pack which is available from the Recommended Fixes support download page: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=2294&uid=swg27006335
