SE73235: RATIONAL DEVELOPER FOR SYSTEM I - EDITING RPG: Z-ADD WITH LENGTH DEFINE NOT SHOWN AS A MODIFY REFERENCE IN OUTLINE VIEW

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In Rational Developer for i, when editing RPGLE source the
  accompanying Outline view indicates line references where
  symbols are defined, referenced, and modified. A source program
  can implicitly define a field on a Calculation statement on
  certain operations by specifying a length value in the Field
  Length columns 64-68.
  
  When a field is defined this way on a Z-ADD (or other) operation
  that sets or modifies the field then the Outline view should
  show a Modified reference. eg. 110 (M)
  
  Workaround:
  None
  

Local fix

• NA
