PI70999: RELATIVE PATHS, LONGER THAN 260 - DOES NOT GIVE PROPER WARNING MESSAGE

IBM Rational Rhapsody 8.2.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Steps to reproduce the issue.
  - Create one model file with the path more than 260 character
  long.
  - Give the relative path in Rhapsody by doing edit unit .
  Relative path with more than 260 character is a limitation for
  windows before WINDOWS10. Hence Rhapsody is not accepting the
  the path more than 260 character long too. but the error message
  is not clear here , it should give the proper warning/error
  message.
  Exp:"Cannot load unit 'XYZ' because path to unit file is longer
  than supported by OS"
