APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The SQLTYPE keyword is not correctly recognized by the verifier
  in RDI 9.1.
  
  For example the valid line:
  
       D SomeName        S                   SQLTYPE(CLOB:1048576)
  
  Will result in the message RNF3438:
  
  RNF3438: LIKE keyword is expected for field SOMENAME but not
  found; definition is ignored.

  * When using RDi to verify an SQLRPGLE source member that has  *
  * a                                                            *
  * variable defined with the SQLTYPE keyword, the verifier      *
  * issues messages msgRNF3308 (Keyword name not valid) and      *
  * msgRNF3438 (LIKE keyword is expected).                       *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When using RDi to verify an SQLRPGLE source member that has a
  variable defined with the SQLTYPE keyword, the verifier
  incorrectly issues the following messages:
  
  - RNF3308 Keyword name not valid; the keyword is ignored.
  - RNF3438 LIKE keyword is expected for field.
  
  If the SQLTYPE is one that causes a data structure to be
  generated, and the subfields are used in calculations,
  the verifier will issue msgRNF7030 (Name not defined)
  for the subfields.
  

Problem conclusion

• This problem is fixed in the RDi 9.1.1 update. When the SQLTYPE
  is
  seen for a standalone field or subfield, the verifier will
  add the relevant definitions to its dictionary so that
  the fields can be used without error. For example, the
  following source will verify without error.
  
  D myBlob          s                   sqltype(blob : 100)
  /free
      myBlob_len = 50;
      myBlob_data = someData;
      return;
