Error description
Rational Developer for System z - RDz In the debugger GUI the if you have a pointer that points to a structure for instance, the data in the structure is not displayed when you hover over it. For example, in the progarm below when you hover over out.correctPerson.correctname or out.correctPerson.Surname the correct values are displayed. However, if you hover over out.buggyPeronson=>name or out.buggyPreson=>surname then you are shown the value of the pointer and not the data pointed to. TESTA: package exports(TESTA); define structure 1 personType, 3 name char(10), 3 surname char(10); TESTA : proc options(main); dcl 1 TEST STATIC, 3 MySurname Char(10) INIT ('Doe'), 3 MyName Char(10) INIT ('John'); dcl 1 in, 3 name char(10), 3 surname char(10); dcl 1 out, 3 buggyPerson handle personType, 3 correctPerson, 5 correctName char(10), 5 correctSurname char(10); out.correctPerson.correctName = MyName; out.correctPerson.correctSurname = MySurname; out.buggyPerson = new(:personType:); out.buggyPerson=>name = MyName; out.buggyPerson=>surname = MySurname; END TESTA; end TESTA;
Local fix
If you highlight only the variable, MyName, in the statement below then you will see the value of MyName. out.buggyPerson=>name = MyName;
Problem summary

Problem conclusion
The hover parser was not handling the notation for handlers (=>) such that the variable value could be displayed in the hover. This issues is addressed with the fix for this APAR. The problem listed in this APAR has been resolved with IBM Rational Developer for System z V9.1.1.5 Fix Pack which is available from the Recommended Fixes support download page: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=2294&uid=swg27006335
