Error description

  • IBM zOS Explorer - v3.0.1.9

Description :
The scenario was built with RDz 9.1.5.4 using IBM zOS Explorer
v3.0.1.9.
When using double quotes inside Bidi text, for example, in the
Working storage section, both LPEX and Cobol editors
recognizes it as error and displays the "error token" flag.

Local fix

  • 



Problem summary


    

  • When quotes are placed between BIDI text segments BIDI
algorithm changes their placement and that makes the text wrong
for the parser.

    



Problem conclusion


    

  • During the parsing process quotes are replaced with apostrophes
into the parsing buffer.  The displayed and stored text remains
untouched.

    



Temporary fix
