Hi Christian,
It seems there is some confusion with invalid and OCLInvalid. In the
current implementation Invalid is a type, while OclInvalid is a literal
of the Invalid type. Here follow the corresponding grammar extracts:
primitiveTypeCS ::= Invalid
invalidLiteralExpCS ::= OclInvalid
However, the OCL spec says (11.2.4 OclInvalid):
"The type OclInvalid is a type that conforms to all other types. It has
one single instance called invalid. Any property call applied on invalid
results in OclInvalid, except for the operations oclIsUndefined() and
oclIsInvalid(). OclInvalid is itself an instance of the metatype
InvalidType."
Thus, I would propose to exchange OclInvalid and Invalid and turn
Invalid to lower case.
Cheers,
Alex.

Hi, Alex,
Yes, I know :-( This is a change that I am hoping to do in am MDT OCL
2.0 release to adopt the 2.1 revision of the spec. Otherwise, this
constitutes a breaking API change that we can't do in a 1.3 release. I
haven't thought about whether it could be hacked with a
strict-compliance Option ... the implications at the grammar level
suggest that it could be problematic.
If it's urgent, I would certainly welcome contribution of a solution
that maintains compatibility!
Cheers,
Christian

Christian,
Fortunately, this is not urgent in my case. And regarding a solution
that would be compatible with the current implementation, I agree, it
cannot be just adding new rules
primitiveTypeCS ::= OclInvalid
invalidLiteralExpCS ::= invalid
since it causes RR-conflicts.
Best,
Alex.
