VisualAge RPG copymember issue

Hi,


No idea if this question/issue fits in the RPG mailing list but I doubt a VisualAge RPG one still exists.


The issue is that on a project we still use IBM VisualAge RPG but after we moved to a new system the compiles fail on missing fields which is caused by improper importing the copy members. These show up on the compile listing as follows;


34 D/COPY *REMOTE *LIBL/QVRPGSKCOP,ALPROGDS 000033

*--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*

* RPG member name . . . . . : ALPROGDS * 2

* External name . . . . . . : *LIBL/QVRPGSKCOP(ALPROGDS) * 2

*--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*

35+ * * Program data-structure * D ProgDs SDS D PDCompName *P ?


As you notice the compiler can read the remote copy member but has everything on a single line as it doesn't understand the carriage returns ? So far I have no clue what is causing this, just hoping someone has experienced the same issue many years ago :-)


Manually inserting the copy member in the source itself removes the compile errors which proves that it doesn't import the copy member despite I can see it.


Any tips are welcome.


Thanks,

Paul
