Error description
Rational Developer for System z 8.5.1 - RDz - Preprocessor Statement ? Identify Preprocessor Statements action for COBOL and PL/I language development may not identify preprocessor text insertions at end of the program. When performing 'Preprocessor Statement ? Identify Preprocessor Statements' action on COBOL or PL/I program, RDz may not identify preprocessor text insertions at the very end of the program. If a preprocessor of this type is configured in the Editor Configurations of Property group, real-time syntax warnings may appear if the missing transformation is required to successfully parse the program, and certain features may not be available due to the parser not initializing successfully. Local Fix: Add comment line as last statement in program source so that preprocessor statements are added prior to it.
Local fix
Problem summary
If a preprocessor transformation inserts text after the last line of a program, the Identify Preprocessor actions will not identify the transformation.
Problem conclusion
The actions have been updated so that now if a preprocessor transformation inserts text after the last line of a program, then the last line of the program will be identified as a preprocessor statement transformation that includes the last line of the program plus any additional lines inserted by the preprocessor transformation. The problem listed in this APAR has been resolved with IBM Rational Developer for System z V8.5.1.1 Fix Pack which is available from the Recommended Fixes support download page: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=2294&uid=swg27006335
