PM15544: Substatemachine action on entry/exit doesn't generate any Code / Nor Stops from editing

APAR status

• Closed as Permanent restriction.

Error description

• Currently, the entries in the 'Action on entry' and 'Action on e
  xit' for a substate doesn't actually impact the code generation.
   This may be the designed behaviour because the substate on a to
  p level really corresponds to the state itself.
  If this is the scenario then this field should be non-editable.
  
  Moreover, there are no warnings generated to say the least or no
  t really documented anywhere on this behaviour.

  For the "Action on entry" and "Action on exit" fields for a
  substate, no code is generated.
  

Problem conclusion

• This is the expected behavior. As of version 7.5.3, these
  fields are disabled. This change was described in the
  migration guide for 7.5.3:
  
  Features window for top-level state in sub-statechart
  
  In version 7.5.2 of Rational Rhapsody, the user interface
  allowed you to define entry and exit actions in the features
  window for the top-level state in a sub-statechart. This
  behavior has been changed in version 7.5.3. Now, these
  fields are disabled in the features window for the top-level
  state in a sub-statechart.
  
  In version 7.5.3, if you generate code for an existing model
  where entry or exit actions have been defined for the
  top-level state in a sub-statechart, these actions are not
  reflected in the generated code. However, they will still be
  displayed in the relevant fields in the features window. If
  you want to remove these actions, open the model in version
  7.5.2 and manually remove the defined actions, and then
  reopen the model in 7.5.3.
