Re: Outline view bug?

Hi Doug,

We've tested it here also, and agree with Brian that it does appear to be a defect.

Please contact IBM Support and open a case so we can address this issue.

Thanks!

Doug, just be mindful that IN is the name of an Opcode. (To input the contents of a Data Area.) It would seem that old-style D-specs allow this, but maybe the RDi parser is being a little over rigorous?

Just for information, free-format coding of this DS would require the use of the DCL-SUBF keyword:

// Parser and compiler OK with this
DDS1 DS Qualified
D In 10A

// IN is an opcode - parser and compile error
Dcl-DS DS2 Qualified;
In Char(10);
End-DS;

// Parser and compiler OK with this
Dcl-DS DS3 Qualified;
Dcl-Subf In Char(10);
End-DS;

However, I >am< getting all manner of RDi parser errors (and a lack of Outline content) when coding:

DS1.In = 'One';
DS3.In = 'Three';

(With DS2 commented out, it all compiles just fine.) So RDi >really< doesn't like the use of IN as a variable name. I suspect there's a bug!

Mike,

I can't do that because the DS is defined using other formats. Here is
what it looks like, though:


Dtable2 DS Qualified
D Keys LikeRec(table1:*key)
D In LikeRec(table1:*input)
D Out LikeRec(table1:*output)


It does compile and has been running for at least a year now.

Rdi does not build the Outline view for this, unless I change all
".in" to
".in2 for example. When I change all ".in" to ".in2" the Outline view
appears, and the red Xs are gone.

In RDi, there is a red X in the left margin, that says: Terminating
Parser Error: "parameterList" expected after this token

Hope this helps.

Thank you,

Doug
