CAUSE:
Bug# OE00198035
FIX:
Option #1
Upgrade to 10.2B02
Option #2
The problem is caused by the fact that one of the involved classes (myClass) has a member variable of the same type (myClass), the workaround is to define the variable as a super class of myClass, for instance:
/* define a variable to keep a reference to itself in myClass.cls */
DEFINE PUBLIC VARIABLE myClass AS System.Object NO-UNDO.
Instead of the following definition:
/* define a variable to kee a reference to itself in myClass.cls */
DEFINE PUBLIC VARIABLE myClass AS myClass NO-UNDO.
