Re: DATA-GEN error on V7R4 not on V7R3 -- RPG400-L

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.

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?
