IT40960: ELEMENTS RETURNED BY THE CNIGETCOMPLEXATTRIBUTE USER DEFINED NODE FUNCTION HAVE THE INCORRECT TYPE

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In a C user defined node the Table properties on the node are
  accessed using the cniGetComplexAttribute() function. The
  functions cniElementType() and cniElementValueType() should both
  return the same value when called on a CciElement that is a
  child of an individual Row element in the Table property. This
  differs from CciElements from message trees where
  cniElementType() returns the type used by the parser for that
  specific element, and cniElementValueType() returns the actual
  type of that element's value.
  
  In ACE v11 and v12 cniElementType() will incorrectly return
  CCI_ELEMENT_TYPE_NAME_VALUE for all elements under each row in a
  Table property.
  

Local fix

Problem conclusion

• The cniElementType() function will return the same value as
  cniElementValueType() for the individual complex attribute
  properties as in earlier versions of the product.
