Hi,

latest nightly build gives me this result in the xtext ocl console

Evaluating:
1.oclType()
Results:
UnlimitedNatural

Evaluating:
1.oclAsType(Real).oclType()
Results:
UnlimitedNatural


I was expecting that the second expression would return Real?

Hi

No. oclAsType() returns either the source object or invalid. It just
changes the static type.

You'll see the same in Java. The result of ((X)x).getClass() is
unaffected by X unless X is incompatible in which case you get a CCE.

[In due course 1.oclType() will become Integer again. UnlimitedNatural
will be dis-integrated with the numeric system requiring explicit
conversions.]

Regards
