SE72863: RDI 9.6.0.6 MSGRNF0306E ILE RPG SYNTAX CHECKER INCORRECTLY FLAGSVALID TIME LITERAL

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Editing ILE RPG with the Remote Systems LPEX Editor in Rational
  Developer for i (RDI) 9.6.0.6, the syntax checker may
  incorrectly issue error message RNF0306, indicating that a Time
  literal is invalid.
  
  For example, if you change the following statement in the
  editor:
     Dcl-s aTime Time inz(T'00.00.00');
  and then you later change the following statement where the Time
  literal has a different separator, the syntax checker may
  indicate that the literal is incorrect.
     Dcl-s bTime Time inz(T'00:00:00');
  

Local fix

• Compile or perform a Verify action on the source to validate
  syntax checker messages.
