Summary0006699: Missing/invalid expansion rules for templates with template restrictions in 15.6.2
DescriptionClause 15.6.2 describes how to expand a template variable which is initialised with omit when a single field of the variable gets assigned:
The other fields shall be expanded to "?" if the are mandatory and to "*" else.

This is applicable for pure template variables (i.e. without template restrictions) but - at least from a user's point of view - it does not make sense for a "template (omit)" variable as the implicit expansion leads to violation of the template restriction what causes a runtime error with at least one tool. This is not acceptable from a user's point of view especially in a following scenario:

type record MyRecord_Type {
  integer field1,
  integer field2
};

var template (omit) MyRecord_Type v_MyRecord := omit;

v_MyRecord.field1 := 1; // assignment 1
v_MyRecord.field2 := 2; // assignment 2

-> It does not make any use to get a run-time error between assignment 1 and 2.

=> Clause 15.6.2 shall be enhanced to cope with "template (omit)" variables so that internal expansion rules of the core language do not violate the core language itself.
The simplest solution would be to consider fields not being assigned yet as "uninitialized" in terms of isbound (or optional fields could be expanded to omit as well).
TagsNo tags attached.

Check if limiting template restriction to template and template(present) would cause problem with the users of other tools.

I would agree that for template(value) and template(omit) the expansion behavior should be the same as for values.

As far as I know, the implicit-omit-template-expansion feature is not used by our customers, yet.

Resolution uploaded. Waiting for vendor feedback.

As it doesn't seem there are any objections from the vendors, I think we can proceed with resolving the issue.
Please check the proposed solution.
