Error description
RDz displays the following syntax errors when editing COBOL source containing the DLIUIB copybook when the copybook was delivered with CICS/TS prior to version 4.2 (i.e. DLIUIB copybook delivered in CICS 4.2 has changed and RDz does not produce these errors): Multiple markers at this line - The copybook contains the following error: 'ERROR_TOKEN' unexpected tokens ignored - The copybook contains the following error: 'REDEFINES' expected instead of this input followed by: 'ERROR_TOKEN' unexpected tokens ignored The code compiles fine on the mainframe.
Local fix
Problem summary
The CICS TS copybook DLIUIB (up through CICS TS V4R1, CICSTS.V4R1M0.CICS.SDFHCOB(DLIUIB) )contains certain unprintable characters that can cause editor real-time parsing errors in RDz 8.0.3 and RDz 8.0.3.1. The unprintable characters are being read using the wrong character encoding, which causes the sequence numbers in columns 73-80 of the DLIUIB copybook to be parsed beyond column 80, causing the failure.
Problem conclusion
This fix reads the copybook using the correct encoding. In a z/OS Project, user may need to refresh the cached copy of the copybook (right-click on DLIUIB reference in the COPY statement and select "Refresh Cached Copy"). The problem listed in this APAR has been resolved with IBM Rational Developer for System z V8.0.3.2 Fix Pack which is available from the Recommended Fixes support download page: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=2294&uid=swg27006335
