PH54033: XML SCHEMA (XSD) ISSUES WITH INHERITED TYPES (IMPORTED AND NATIVE)

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• IBM Transformation Extender 10.1.2.0 Design Studio problem when
  using an XSD either natively as a type tree or importing it to
  a .mtt type tree file, and then using that to generate XML data
  that is compliant with that schema.
  
  The following snippet of an XML schema shows two types:
  
   <xs:simpleType name="amountType1">
    <xs:restriction base="xs:decimal">
     <xs:fractionDigits value="13"/>
             <xs:totalDigits value="18"/>
             <xs:minInclusive value="0"/>
    </xs:restriction>
   </xs:simpleType>
  
   <xs:complexType name="amountType2">
    <xs:simpleContent>
     <xs:extension base="amountType1">
      <xs:attribute name="currency" use="required"/>
     </xs:extension>
    </xs:simpleContent>
   </xs:complexType>
  
  When the schema is used in a map, 'amountType2' may not truncate
  the fractional digits to 13 as required by the restriction for
  'amountType1' despite 'amountType2' being an inherited type.
