[ATL] "If then else" with multiple code lines Syntax problem [message #92985]

Hi,
I have a problem writing this recursive helper, it seems like i cannot
have multiple code lines in the "if then else" statement of a helper! Do
you have a solution for this?

helper context UML2!Package def : getAllChildren () :
OrderedSet(UML2!Package) =
self.nestedPackage->iterate( child ; elements : OrderedSet(UML2!Package) =
OrderedSet{} |
if not(child.packageIsLeaf()) then
{elements.append(child);
elements.union(child.getAllChildren ());
}
else
{ elements.append(child);}
endif
)
;

Can anybody help ?!!

ATL helpers are not imperative functions you don't have the right to
write this.

the expresssions in statements must return a result

exactly.
And in Ocl there is also an if statement, however the syntax is different:

let x:Boolean=true in if x then 'yes' else 'no' endif
