Hi

OCL is a side-effect free language so there is no operations such as setType. You need to be much clearer about what you are trying to do, probably with a repro.

Hi

Screen shots do not provide a repro, but in this case I can perhaps guess at what you are trying to do; you might find https://wiki.eclipse.org/OCL/ForumNetiquette helpful.

Acceleo is a Model to Text language so most expressions contrbute output text. [o.setType(newType)/] does not obviously have an text value and appears to attempt to modify the input model which is illegal in a declarative language. If the value in o.type does not suit your [urposes you propbabkly want to write a getType() helper that returns the corrected working value rather than trying to correct the input.

Regards
