SE58186: RDI 9.0.1 VERIFY OF ILE RPG EMITS INCORRECT RNF7030 WITH DTAARA KEYWORD

Rational Developer for i 9.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• ILE RPG source containing a D specification with a DTAARA
  keyword with an unquoted name may fail to verify in the
  Remote Systems LPEX Editor and be marked with an RNF7030
  message.
  
  For example:
  
       D dtaara          S              5A   DTAARA( DA_NAME )
  RNF7030: The name or indicator DA_NAME is not defined.
  

Local fix

• Add quotes to the DTAARA parameter. The DTAARA parameter must
  be in uppercase. For example:
  
       D dtaara          S              5A   DTAARA( 'DA_NAME' )
