Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * Users of the Software analysis rules                         *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * The first time you launch the software analysis on the rule  *
  * "AvoidDuplicateDatacall" on a segment 00, a logical view     *
  * segment or a table segment, the rule aborted due to this     *
  * exception. If you start the rule with another type of        *
  * segment, it is initiated with this segment and it will       *
  * remain as the original segment for all the executions of the *
  * same rule (that is an error).                                *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
