This list contains limitations for PL/I language support in J2C applications:
The REFER usage is simple if:
The following are examples of simple PL/I structures:
dcl
1 nc1 based,
2 ne bin fixed(15),
2 nx1 char( nc refer(ne) );
dcl
1 nc2 based,
2 ne bin fixed(15),
2 nf bin fixed(15),
2 nx2( nc refer(ne) ) char( nd refer(nf) );
dcl
1 nc3 based,
2 ne bin fixed(15),
2 nx3( nc refer (ne) , 2 ),
3 nb1 char(4),
3 nb2 char(6);
If the source file contains a COMPLEX REFER (which is not a SIMPLE REFER), the data structure that has the complex refer does not show up.
