 |  |  |  |  |
If more than 128 method blocks in either of the following lists are used
in a single runproject, the results will likely contain wrong answers:
*
For software releases that are not yet generally available, the Fixed
Release is the software release in which the problem is planned to be
fixed.
1) project and transformation methods
2) project, scoring, pricing, mitigation, postprice, and postvar methods
The following symptoms suggest that you have encountered this problem.
If the methods stop running for the first list, only the analysis variables will perturb in the remaining market states.
If transformation methods stop running in the base case, the following error might appear in the log:
ERROR: A link depth error occurred.
The statement was:
runmethod Trans256;
ERROR: Error occurred in RFT method 'Trans256'.
If the methods stop running in the second list, the following error might be produced:
ERROR: A link depth error occurred.
The statement was:
runmethod Price98;
ERROR: Error occurred in pricing method 'Price98'.
