Error description
There is an issue with Local Syntax checking. The problem is with the parsing of the Additional JCL to create the environment variables necessary for the local syntax check. When copy files come from libraries other than SYSLIB, and more than one library is specified, all of the environment variables are not generated properly. When running a Local Syntax Check it uses the SYSLIB plus the first DD present in the 'Additional JCL' box of the 'Procedures and Steps' entry for COBOL programs. If the user codes a COPY book using the 'IN ?some DD identifier?' format, the DD name must match the name in the code for the compiler to count the item as being found. Since the Local Syntax Check appears to look at only the first DD, they are only finding the items in that file, and only if the 'IN' parameter matches the DD name. Example syntax - COPY BOOK1 IN DDNAME1.
Local fix
Problem summary
The parsing of the DD statements needs to change to ensure that all of the environment variables get set properly.
Problem conclusion
Parsing has changed, and will be included in 8.0.3. The problem listed in this APAR has been resolved with IBM Rational Developer for System z V8.0.3 Refresh Pack which is available from the Recommended Fixes support download page: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=2294&uid=swg27006335
