Error description
In RPP 9.7.0, Macros containing micro patterns pulled into the generated program may raise the warning : "'The existing syntax cannot be converted to the new syntax. Check the existing syntax.'" The micro pattern does not show in the generated program but only in the Macro Examples were with Move and Divide Micro pattern within the macro, with an extended number of parameters.
Local fix
The existing syntax is nor recognized by the feature which tries to translate the syntax known prior to RPP 9.7 into the new version, post RPP 9.7. The existing syntax therefore remains, and is still fully supported and properly translated into cobol, so the warning can be ignored.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * * Users that want to generate code * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * * When you generate a cobol and the design entity (program or * * screen) called a macro in which we have a micro pattern. The * * micro pattern can be here only because it has parameters, * * and will not be visible in the final cobol. In this case, we * * don't need to transform it to the new syntax and we don't * * need to put a warning indicating a potential transformation * * problem. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * ****************************************************************
