    Description:
    ------------
    Explicit Relationship macro fails if relationship has a ? in the
    name
    
    Expected result:

    Explicit Relationship macro fails if relationship name
    contains a reserved xml character
    

Problem conclusion

  • This issue is resolved with the fix to APAR PM73289. This
    was due to an ? character in one of the relationship names
    which was not being encoded before being written to the xml
    which was being employed internally. Thus the xml failed to
    be parsed and no lines were placed upon the diagram.
    

Temporary fix
