Issue 6698: PSS FTF: Sequence should be added in the PSDL state types (pss-ftf)
Source: National Lab, Distributed Process, China (Deng Bo, db_zq(at)yahoo.com.cn)
Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: In the PSDL state type grammar, the state member can't be a sequence type as the following text:
formal/02-06-05 on page 3-8
<psdl_state_type_spec> ::= <base_type_spec>
   |  <string_type>
   |  <wide_string_type>
   |  <abstract_storagetype_ref_type>
   |  <scoped_name>
...
<scoped_name> must denote a previously declared [abstract or local] interface,
struct, union, type, [abstract] valuetype, or a previously defined abstract storagetype.
...
 
It's very useful if the sequence type be a state member, which is currently not possible.
 
Resolution:
 
Replace the following text in formal/02-06-05 on page 3-8
<psdl_state_type_spec> ::= <base_type_spec>
   |  <string_type>
   |  <wide_string_type>
   |  <abstract_storagetype_ref_type>
   |  <scoped_name>
   
with
<psdl_state_type_spec> ::= <base_type_spec>
   |  <sequence_type>
   |  <string_type>
   |  <wide_string_type>
   |  <abstract_storagetype_ref_type>
   |  <scoped_name>
