SE54746: STATIC RPG OUTLINE VIEW OVERFLOWS JAVA CALL STACK WHEN USING THE SAME LOCAL & GLOBAL DS DEFINITION WITH LIKEDS TO CHAIN IT

Rational Developer for i Fix Pack 9.0.1 for 9.0

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• In a RPG source, when local DS definitions match some global DS
  definitions, and have a LIKEDS chain which goes back to the
  same name, the static outline view (where the outline view
  must be refreshed) will overflow java stack call. This problem
  can be reproduced with:
  
        *
       D W1              DS
       D W2              DS                   LikeDS(W1)
  
        *
       P Report1         B
       D W1              DS                   LikeDS(W2)
       P                 E
  

Local fix

• Rename the local DS names which have LIKEDS chains back to the
  same name.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: RDi workbench crashes when showing      *
  *                      static outline view for specific        *
  *                      LIKEDS coding scenarios.                *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  Logic to populate the old static RPGLE Outline view was
  getting into a recursive loop for a specific LIKEDS keyword
  coding scenario.
  
  This problem is fixed in the RDi 9.0.1 update.
