PK76809: UPDATE TO PK76636 RECURSIVE RULES RETURNING INVALID RESULTS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Customer has a Binding rule that is recursively calling itself.
  For example Binding rule A references Binding Rule B, which in
  turn references A, thus a circular reference.  This originally
  caused a StackOverFlowError.
  
  Code was added to trap the reprocessing of the referenced rule,
  but with further testing can see that no content was returned
  from the circular reference.
  
  This situation should be considered an error.  Code will be
  added to log the error, identifying the rules involved so that
  the problem can be corrected.
  

Local fix

• Remove circular/recursive rule reference
  

Problem summary

• After reviewing update made within PK76636 to handle StackOverFl
  exception when running a recursive rule, it was determined that
  should be produced when a recursive rule processing is encounter
  
  This update was to change the process when running a Binding Rul
  recursively to produce PersonalizationException.
  

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix
