Issue 10635: Presentation option for return parameter for operation type are incomplete (uml2-rtf)
Source: International Business Machines (Mr. Jim Amsden, jamsden(at)us.ibm.com)
Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: Section 7.3.36 Operation, under Presentation Options explains notation options for expressing the return value of an Operation. The example is: 

toString(): String 

means the same thing as 

toString(return: String) 

This should also be the same as: 

toString(return result: String) 

That is, the default name of the return parameter is "result". This is to be consistent with OCL's reference to the result of an operation in a post condition, and to allow a behavior to be able to refer to a return parameter by name.
