Error description
In IBM Developer for z/OS (IDz) v14.2.1.1 COBOL or PL/I editor, an internal error may occur if "Occurrences in Compilation Unit" is initiated in the Data Elements view right after changes have been saved in the editor. Here are steps to reproduce: 1) Edit a member with the COBOL or PL/I editor. 2) Right click in the editor and select Show In > Data Elements. 3) Make changes in the editor and save it. 4) Right click on a variable in the Data Elements view and select "Occurrences in Compilation Unit". Here is an example of the exception seen in the workspace error log file using the COBOL editor: java.lang.NullPointerException at com.ibm.systemz.cobol.editor.occurrences.ui.search.CobolSearchUi .convertOccurrenceMatch(CobolSearchUi.java:nnn) at com.ibm.systemz.cobol.editor.occurrences.ui.search.CobolSearchUi .run(CobolSearchUi.java:nnn)
Local fix
Use z Systems LPEX editor instead of COBOL or PL/I editors
