APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
In Rational Developer for z Systems (RDz) v9.5.1, the generated JCL for debugging with DB2 or IMS run-time environment enabled, does not have the correct format for the TEST parameter passed to the user option file generated during the UOPTSTP step. Here is an example of the incorrectly generated TEST parameter: CEEXOPT TEST(ALL,,PROMPT,TCPIP&&9.21.5.64%8005:*) The same issue exists in the current RDz v9.5.1.1+ service packs.
Local fix
Modify the generated JCL, ensuring that there is an equal(=) sign after TEST, doubling the ampersand (&) if not using the DBM, and ensuring the fourth parameter is wrapped in double quotes (") . For the above example, the change would be: CEEXOPT TEST=(ALL,,PROMPT,"TCPIP&&9.21.5.64%8005:*")
Problem summary
When generating JCL for debugging or code coverage with DB2 or IMS run-time environment enabled, the UOPTSTP step does not have the correct format for the TEST runtime option.
Problem conclusion
The TEST runtime option during the UOPTSTP step will now be correctly formatted such that the user options do not cause the assembler to fail during this step. The problem listed in this APAR has been resolved with IBM Rational Developer for z Systems V9.5.1.3 Fix Pack which is available from the Recommended Fixes support download page: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=2294&uid=swg27006335
