Dear database managers,
I notice a loop in the followings AS-MACRO, in fact AS-TELEDANMARKINTERNATIONAL is calling AS-TLI which is calling AS-TELEDK which is calling AS-TELEDANMARKINTERNATIONAL. (and all that make that our automatic filter generation tool fails)
Could you correct those macro and will the Ripe database management provide any control on that kind of loop ?
I have seen those elsewhere, such as at AS-UNI. I don't think it is entirely avoidable. I don't know if it is illegal either, albeit it ought to be, as the construction doesn't make sense. Consider letting your automation keep a list of previously expanded macros so that it doesn't do it again. Peter B. Juul, Uni-C (PBJ255-RIPE)
