Hi,

I'm using Rhapsody 7.4 and I'd like to generate a for loop using a flowchart, but I've found that in v.7.4. it is only possible to generate While and DoWhile loops (besides of if-then clauses).

Seems that in Rhapsody 7.5 it is possible to do it 26-may-2009-rhapsody-7-5-released-t294.html

Has anybody of you tried it??
please could you post an image example showing how it is modelled? (I ignore if saving a project made in 7.5 as 7.4 will run or the for loop will be overriden)

Thanks a lot!!!

Did you ever figure this out? I'm still trying to find it in documentation.

I can read there about flowchart generation from code, so there is support for a for-loop recognition in a code centric workflow.
I cannot find any details regarding generation of for-loops from flow charts

b.t.w. How should it be modeled?
I do not see notational elements in UML (or Rhapsody extensions beyond UML), which would help to indicate such a pattern. The flowchart is still a restricted version of an UML activity flow.

Luke.

With some Tags or Stereotypes it would be possible.

As long as the code generation isn't that smart to decide what kind of generation
(while, for, do while, if or switch case) extend the language to let the user do the work.

A for loop you can cheat by using a do while loop, but have you ever modeled a switch case?
The model is that crowded as the if .. else if ... else ... if looks.

@development: If you need some inputs, just give me a call.
