APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When an XML Schema .xsd containing a choice group defined with
  the maxOccurs as unbounded, as in the following example, the
  XML Schema importer creates the imported type tree with a
  maximum range of 1 (0:1) instead of unlimited (0:s).
  <complexType name="ChoiceGroup1">
    <choice minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
      <element name="Field1" type="xsd:string"></element>
      <element name="Field2" type="xsd:string"></element>
    </choice>
  </complexType>
