DMN17 — Spec does not mandate that all formal parameters are utilised.

Open Closed All
  • Key: DMN17-41
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Montera Pty Ltd ( Greg McCreath)
  • Summary:

    Section "10.5.3 FunctionDefinition metamodel" does not specify that formal parameters must be utilised in the function logic . As DMN is a self-documenting decision executable this leads to a situation where (documented) parameters may be defined but unnecessary.

    I propose the following paragraph is added to section "10.5.3 FunctionDefinition metamodel":

    "The body expression of a FunctionDefinition SHALL utilise every formal parameter. "
