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)
A simple check to avoid expanding a macro you allready have expanded would solve that.
Could you correct those macro and will the Ripe database management provide any control on that kind of loop ?
Not possible, as Talkline and Tele Danmark provide transit services for each other, this would require a total new layout of the AS macro's. And I cannot see that a loop should be such a bad thing, the check is very simple. /Jesper
