APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
Rational Developer for System z - RDz - v9.5.1.5 Description : Realtime syntax parser fails in RDz v9.5.1.5 for most of PL1 programs and the Program Control Flow cannot be used since "Tooling failed to initialize due to syntax error"
Local fix
Configuring a PL/I preprocessor to expand the macros should leave IDz with just the plain PL/I to handle.
Problem summary
The RDz PL/I parser is unable to handle certain macro language features such as empty macro procedure call arguments.
Problem conclusion
Modified the PL/I parser to support missing macro language features. The problem listed in this APAR has been resolved with IBM Rational Developer for z Systems V9.5.1.6 Fix Pack which is available from the Recommended Fixes support download page: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=2294&uid=swg27006335
