PM63131: Manual merge of state of overridden state causes runtime problems

Rational Rhapsody 8.0.5
Rational Rhapsody Fix Pack 5 (7.6.1.5) for 7.6.1
Rational Rhapsody 8.0.6

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• During the merge we resolve the state conflict manually:
  
  - step1: take the whole state from left
  - step2: merge only the entry action text manually
  
  Everything looks fine, but the result is not as expected. Code
  generation
  and Compilation works fine; the error happens at runtime
  
  The problem is that the merge allows this kind of merge, but it
  is not
  possible to influence the 'overridden' flag. The result is
  inconsistent.
  
  Either allow modification of 'overridden' flag or do not allow
  merging of
  the text field 'entry action'.
