PM57029: With RiA, setting Macro ([[Name]]_Type) with property(RiARecordTypeName) effecting RE

Rational Rhapsody 8.0
Rational Rhapsody 8.0.6

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• With RiA, the RecordTypeName property specifies the name of the
  class record type. If this is not set, Rational Rhapsody uses
  class_name?_t. Default = Empty string Current it's possible to
  add a macro inside this property (RecordTypeName) to have the
  type changed from default ?_t? to ?_Type?, as a workaround -
  e.g: [[Name]]_Type
  
  On setting Macro for property affects RE with RiA. While doing
  reverse engineer, the tagged record type is used to create the
  class record type in Rhapsody. The class types are not present
  anymore in the browser. They are defined in properties.
  
  Problem description:
  - Create Class1 (a simple class without attributes and
  functions, no type definitions)
  
  - Generate the code (in the code have a type Class1_Type in the
  package Class1)
  
  - Delete the class from the model
  
  - Start reverse engineering
  
   The result in the model is:
  
    - A Class1 in the model
  
    - In Class1 a Type Class1_Type which was not there before
  Reverse engineering must match the Class1_Type to the Class1.
  
  Class1_Type is not a separate element.
