IO18148: TDI WILL USE THE VALUES IN THE LIST INSTEAD OF THE LIST ITSELF, BECAUSE THAT IS USUALLY WHAT IS EXPECTED

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• TDI will use the values in the list instead of the list itself,
  because
  that is usually what is expected.
  
  
  But for the special attribute named "$tcb.accumulator" we
  actually want
  the list itself.
  
  Therefore a code change needs to be resolve.
  
  
  Steps to Duplicate:
  
  1. Create an AL that uses and Assembly Line Function Component
  and the
  $tcb.accumulator  where the accumulator is a list.
  
  Expect to get the list in return.
  
  
  
  Workaround for the example given.
  
  
  In the data flow of an AL,
  
  1.  Create a script component to set the newList attribute.  For
  example:
  
  work.setAttribute("newList", java.util.ArrayList());
  
  2.  Create the ALFC component and define the following:
  
  
  Output Map:
  
  Component attribute:  $tcb.accumulator
  Assignment:  return work.newList;
  Connection:  testAL
  
  3.  Create a  2nd script node to view the list returned.
  
  if (work.newList) task.logmsg(work.newList);
   else task.logmsg("newList is null");
  
  
  
  For the 2nd AL  (named testAL)
  Create a Feed - File System connector
  A simple example is a File System connector to a file that
  contains
  email addresses.
  
  
  
  Desired Behavior:   list is return from $tbc.accumulator
  
  Environment: TDI 7.1 and TDI 7.1.1
