Local syntax check in RDz needs to support EXEC DLI commands to support the IMS enviornment

Currently RDz handles EXEC CICS and EXEC SQL commands. It also needs to handle EXEC DLI commands. This includes the automatic inclusion of the DLZDIB area that holds the DIB* fields used by IMS. The following code:

EXEC DLI GU
USING PCB (DBDAM81-PCB-NUM)
SEGMENT (AMSAM00)
INTO (AM00-SEGMENT)
WHERE (AMFAM00K = AM00-ACCOUNT-KEY)
END-EXEC

EVALUATE DIBSTAT
WHEN ' '
WHEN 'FW'
CONTINUE
WHEN OTHER
PERFORM 9999-ABEND-ROUTINE
END-EVALUATE

Shows as and error for the EXEC DLI call and the references to DIBSTAT which is part of the IMS included are that is not currently brought in.

This is standard code that has been available on the IBM mainframe for years and is a major part of our enviornment.

    I no longer have the EXEC DLI patch installed on my machine because I have switched machines and had to reinstall RDz. I am currently at version 8.0.2 of RDz. I can tell you that we updated the same program with and without the EXEC DLI patch in our testing. When the SPACES was updated to SPACESx in the code without the EXEC DLI patch that it showed the error in less than a second, where the same program updated in the same way on my PC with the EXEC DLI patch did not show the field as an error even after 30 seconds.

    If I need to do some verification I would need the software again to update RDz for the EXEC DLI patch.
