Error description
Rational Business Developer V7.5.1.2: The Enterprise Generation Languate (EGL) default EZEDESTP value is different from VisualAge Generator. The default EZEDESTP value for VisualAge Generator is EZEPRINT while the EGL default EZEDESTP value is 'printer'. This causes the EGL logic to think these are two different files and prevents the interleaving of data between VisualAge Generator and EGL print forms. To print forms to the same file when calling both VisualAge Generator and EGL generated COBOL programs, the following must be done. Assuming a resource association entry for EZEPRINT is not used for the VisualAge Generator programs, to get this to work, create a resource association entry with the following values: 1) File Name=printer 2) File Type=seqrs 3) systemName=EZEPRINT
Local fix
Problem summary
Reference Guide entry on VisualAge Generator compatibility now says as follows: "One detail (unrelated to the compatibility settings described earlier) pertains to setting up a resource association part, which is used at generation time. If you are generating output for z/OS batch and want to share a print file between a program generated with EGL and a program generated with VisualAge Generator, you cannot rely on the default settings for the resource association part. Instead, you must set an entry (for example, for system value zosbatch and fileType value seqrs), such that the value of fileName is set to printer and the value of systemName is set to EZEPRINT. For keystroke details, see 'Adding a resource association part to an EGL build file.' "
Problem conclusion
done
Temporary fix
