PM96670: DefaultType' does not work for types defined in PredefinedTypes.

Rational Rhapsody 8.0.5
Rational Rhapsody 8.0.6

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• DefaultType' to set the default type of a variable/attribute to
  one defined in the PredefinedTypes (say RhpString), Rhapsody is
  not able to use the type specified by this property. Instead,
  the default type remains set to 'int'.
  
  Other types, from user defined reference packages can be used
  fine, but Rhapsody seems to ignore the types from the
  automatically added reference packages. This is not an
  acceptable behavior, as the types from the PredefinedTypes can
  very much be used by the user otherwise i.e. manually. And if a
  type can be used, it should be possible to use it as a default
  type.
  
  
  Workaround:
  
  There is no known workaround at this time.
