Issue 5889: Notation used in PIM (lwlog-ftf)
Source:  (Mr. Michael G. McClimens, mike.mcclimens(at)hqda.army.mil)
Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: Minor
Summary: Throughout the PIM. "void" is used to indicate that no data is returned from the operation. The comment is about the PIM operations where void is specified for the return type.  Recommend that "void" be removed from the PIM. Void is not conformant to UML PIM.  
void is language (c, Java) specific

+ oper1 (in MyType, in MyType)

Would this change require changes in the PSM as well, in order to specify "void"?

Proposed Resolution - in the PIM portion of the spec redo the method signatures to a representation in the format 
+ oper1 (in MyType, in MyType)
in the parameters and Return section of each PIM subsection substitute NA for void in the tables
Make sure that all of the tables contain "This operation does not return a value" in the description portion of all of the tables in the PIM and PSM.
Make sure that the PIM-PSM mappings for the "void" methods acknowledge that part of the mapping transforms the no return signatures to IDL voids.

(if this approach is accepted then I'll enumerate the individual locations)
