SE73640: RDI 9.6.0.8 ILE RPG PROCEDURE WIZARD FAILS TO INSERT CORRECT DESCRIPTION TEXT AND TYPE FOR PROGRAM PROCEDURE

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When editing ILE RPG source in Rational Developer for i (RDI)
  9.6.0.8, the user can invoke the RPG Procedure Wizard to create
  a new procedure in the source. Description text specified in
  the wizard for the procedure and its parameters are inserted for
  the procedure definition which is added to the source; but the
  description text should also be inserted for the procedure
  prototype declaration section which is generated separately in
  the source.
  
  In addition, when a Program procedure type is selected in the
  wizard, it generates an incorrect parameter value for EXTPGM(),
  specifying EXTPGM('*DCLCASE') when it should be the name
  specified in the wizard entry.
  

Local fix

• Correct the inserted text manually.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: *
  * ILE RPG developers using RDi to edit RPGLE source *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: *
  * The RPG Procedure Wizard should also insert description text *
  * for the prototype created, not just in the procedure *
  * definition. *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: *
  ****************************************************************
  The RPG Procedure Wizard can be used to insert a new procedure
  in the source. It should place the description text its given
  both in the generated prototype and procedure definition.
  

Problem conclusion

• This problem is fixed in the RDi 9.6.0.12 update.
