Error description

  • IBM Rational Developer for Power Systems Software 8.0.0.2
__________________________________________________________
When refreshing the Outline View in LPEX, the workbench will
crash when the source is RPGLE referencing large /COPY file(s).
The java stack trace shows the thread: com.ibm.etools.iseries.
edit.jni.IBMiEditorRPGILENative Interface.verifyProgramRPGILE
Native() is at fault. The memory buffer size for /COPY files
is 1.28 MB. If the /COPY file(s) arevery large, this limit can
be exceeded and cause a java.lang.nullpointer exception that
will cause the Eclipse workbench to crash.

Local fix

  • Reduce the size of the /COPY file(s) by dividing
it into another file(s). The buffer limit is 1.28MB.The /COPY
file(s) need to be split into additional /COPY files. For
example, if the /COPY file is 3 MB, this would need to be
split into 2 additional /COPY files for a total of 3 /COPY
files to be referenced.

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: RD Power users who edit RPGLE source.        *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: RD Power crashes when refreshing the    *
*                      Outline view or doing a Verify on       *
*                      RPGLE source.                           *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
When editing RPGLE Source, and refreshing the Outline view
to populate it, or invoking a Verify on the source,  files
referenced by /COPY directives are scanned by the RD Power
client for their content. If any exceeded an arbitrary size
limit of 1.28 MB, then the RD Power session would crash.

Problem conclusion

  • This problem is fixed in the RD Power 8.0.3 Refresh Pack.
