Error description
Rational Business Developer V7.1.0.3: NullPointerException generating COBOL programs with variable length serial records. A NullPointerException may occur when the definition of a serial variable length record is made, and the variable length field points at a structured field that is not at the top level in the structured record and the structured record has not been defined in the EGL source until after the definition of the serial record.
Local fix
A fix test is available from support on request.
Problem summary
A nullpointer exception could happen if the serial record is referencing a length variable, and that length variable is in a record that has not as yet been analyzed in the source (further down in the source code) and the length field is not at the highest level in the record.
Problem conclusion
Software updated. Fixtest available.
Temporary fix
