PM63758: RPE recursion issue with Rhapsody

Rational Publishing Engine 1.2

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Using Rational Publishing Engine 1.1.2 and Rhapsody 7.5.3.
  
  
  
  Customer is attempting to use recursion in RPE to traverse a
  'composition'
  class hierarchy in Rhapsody and the recursion doesn't seem to
  work.
  
  
  The attached zip archive demonstrates the problem. It contains a
  simple
  Rhapsody project containing a composition class hierarchy and a
  RPE
  template (project/test.dta) to traverse the hierarchy and print
  the
  class names.
  
  
  
  The output should look like this:
  
  
  
     Message_M
  
        SubMessage1
  
        SubMessage2
  
           SubMessage2_1
  
              SubMessage2_1_1
  
              SubMessage2_1_2
  
  
  
  but the last two lines are missing. This is because the
  recursion on
  the $3 query (labeled 'For each relation leaving the current
  class')
  doesn't appear to be working.
