APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Error message are found in the Problem view of Rule
  Designer
  Compilation error: Undefined variable
  ?service
  Compilation error: Undefined value for a 'bind'
  
  The
  variable service is defined first in the variable set
  and then
  the variable name3 is referencing this variable in the initial
  value service.name3
  
  For some reason during the compilation the
  engine does not find service when evaluating the value for the
  variable name3
  

Local fix

• Move the initialization of the variables in the initial action
  of the ruleflow. At this point all the variables will be
  defined.
