I _think_ Jim that that version of RDi may be too old to recognize DATA-GEN as an operation code. So it would be read as if it were Data - Gen - and therefore missing an assignment operator.

But that a doesn't explain why it would work on 7.3 and not 7.4

Yea, I'm confused too:

DATA-GEN message %DATA(Json) %GEN('YAJLDTAGEN');

On the DATA-GEN line RDi says: RNF5347E An assignment operator is
expected with the EVAL operation.

As I said before the compiles for the module and pgm seem to work.

Is this an RDi issue? It would seem that way but I'm not sure.

Subject: Re: DATA-GEN error on V7R4 not on V7R3

I'm confused Jim.

The RDi editor has no idea what release it is working with - so if it is
indeed the editor having issues then it makes no sense.

If it is the compiler then there has to be a PTF difference or something,

Can you post the code that throws the error?

Folks:



First off I verified all the PTFs on both systems.

When I use RDi to edit a program at V7R3 with DATA-GEN the editor
likes it no problem.

When I use RDi to edit a program at V7R4 with DATA-GEN then it
complains that an assignment operator is expected with Eval.

Modules and programs compile OK on both systems.



Any clue?
