PH37846: RATIONAL PROGRAMMING PATTERN 9.7.0 : EMPTY LINE IN MACRO DURING MIGRATION CAUSES WARNINGS IN PROGRAMS AND SCREENS

Rational Programming Patterns 9.7.2

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• In RPP 9.7.0, Empty lines in Macro during migration causes
  warnings in programs and screens in the code editor.
  
  During migration from Pacbase, empty lines contained in
  macros and called into programs or screens were marked
  as specific code, leaving the macro's name in right
  margin.
  Specific code with a macro's name in right margin triggers
  a warning stating that the right margin's value is invalid.
  

Local fix

• Manually remove the line from the program or screen
  source code or remove the macro's name from the right
  margin.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * All users maintaining Cobol sources                          *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * After the migration, when macros contain some empty lines,   *
  * these one can be transformed into specific lines in the      *
  * Cobol, with the code of the Macro in the right margin. The   *
  * same problem occurs with some empty comment lines (a * in    *
  * OPE in Pacbase and nothing in OPERANDS). In that case, the   *
  * structure controls detect a warning "Invalid value in right  *
  * margin".                                                     *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
