Error description
In Rational Developer for System z a COBOL program with continuation lines that split a variable name shows an incorrect warning in LPEX and COBOL editor. Any sentence, entry, clause, or phrase that requires more than one line can be continued in Area B of the next line that is neither a comment line nor a blank line. The line being continued is a continued line; the succeeding lines are continuation lines. Area A of a continuation line must be blank. If there is no hyphen (-) in the indicator area (column 7) of a line, the last character of the preceding line is assumed to be followed by a space. If there is a hyphen in the indicator area of a line, the first nonblank character of the continuation line immediately follows the last nonblank character of the continued line without an intervening space.
Local fix
Problem summary
The COBOL editor parser does not support COBOL tokens split across multiple lines. Support for many uses of split tokens has been added to the COBOL parser. Some limitations will persist, and the following uses of COBOL line continuations are not supported by the COBOL parser or have limited support: - Line continuations within Copybooks. - Line continuations within EXEC blocks. - Line continuations within COPY or REPLACE statements - Line continuations of line comments. - Line continuations within Picture Clauses This APAR is being closed FIN with concurrence from the submitting customer. This means that a fix to this APAR is expected to be delivered from IBM in a release which is being developed at the time that the APAR was closed. The latest release of the product to exit development at the time this APAR was closed was: Rational Developer for System z V9.0.1.
