Issue/Introduction

When in  Workload Automation CA7 TSO/ISPF Interface it can happen that, pressing PF3 (instead of using X) to leave CA7 Primary Option Menu (panel CA7§PRIM), the following message appears :

IF (ENTER = END) OR (/CLOSE = X) THEN                                     
IKJ56545I THIS STATEMENT HAS AN EXPRESSION WITH OPERATORS OUT OF SEQUENCE 
***                                                                       

What can be the cause of this error and how to bypass it ?  

Environment

Release :       All 

Component : CA-7

Resolution

It's important to underline the difference between the ISPF and CA7 PFK assignments, so that : 

- ISPF-PF3 is set to END

- CA7-PF3 is set to  /CLOSE

Below a schema of the correct/wrong PFK assignments, that can cause this problem when in TSO/ISPF CA7§PRIM menu :

 
                                             wrong assignment.                        correct assignment
PrimOptMenu (Func 0)                  CA7                                               ISPF
PrimOptMenu (KEYS cmd)            CA7                                               ISPF
CA7 OnlSession                             CA7                                               CA7

 

If the TSO/ISPF User is in the 'wrong assignment' situation, the solution is to remove from his 'userid.ISPF.ISPPROF' dataset the members beginning with CA7*, because they are probably still storing some wrong past CA7/ISPF mapped references,  and retry the same interface after a Logoff/Logon.

If the problem still occurs even after the above suggestion, Please open a case with Broadcom Support Center.
