SE57861: RATIONAL DEVELOPER FOR I SYSTEMS (RDI) CREATE WEB SERVICE WIZARD GIVES COMPILER ERROR IJTP0028

Rational Developer for i 9.1.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Rational Developer for i Systems (RDi)  v9
  When you use Create Web Service wizard for a COBOL program a
  compiler error will be given in the case where the COBOL
  program has a DISPLAY-OF that references a variable that is
  GRAPHIC.
  The following error pops up in a dialog,  IJTP0028, "The
  program definition could not be obtained from the COBOL source
  code."  If you click on details you will that the possible
  causes are:
  1.  The required libraries have not been added to the library
  list.
  2.  There are compilation errors in the COBOL source code.
  
  In the listing, you will find these errors for the COBOL
  program:
  " "LNC2767 Function argument 'FIELD1' did not have the
  correct type for function 'FUNCTION DISPLAY-OF',
       for the statement,
  "MOVE function display-of(FIELD1) TO   FIELD2."
  
  However, if either a CRTBNDCBL or CRBCLBMOD is used with the
  same program and with the same compilers options in CVTOPT and
  OPTIONS there is no error given.
  

Local fix

• Comment out the DISPLAY-OF statement before invoking the Web
  Service wizard.  After creating the necessary web service files
  then uncomment the statement and compile the program.

  ****************************************************************
  RDi Create Web Service wizard for a COBOL program containing the
  COPY DDS statement for a file containing national data fields (G
  fields with CCSID 13488 or 1200) can fail the compile giving
  error IJTP0028 when the national field is used in a FUNCTION
  DISPLAY-OF statement.  The compile listing shows the national
  field as a PIC G graphic data items in the listing and gives
  error LNC2767 in the compiler listing.  However CRTBNDCBL and
  CRTCBLMOD are able to successfully compile the program.
  

Problem conclusion

• This problem is fixed in the RDi 9.1.1 update.
  When national DDS fields (G fields with CCSID 13488 or 1200) are
  found during COPY DDS, the COBOL PV will handle these as PIC N
  national data items when the correct compiler options are
  specified.
