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
