  • What causes this issue?

    You want to explode the hierarchy of a document. The system has
    recognized that the hierarchy is <GL:recursiveness>recursive</> as from
    document &V1& &V2& &V3& &V4&.
    Recursiveness is not supported for documents. If the system recognizes
    recursiveness in documents, it issues an error message.
    Under certain circumstances, the system does not recognize
    recursiveness until the document is posted, so does not stop it
    occurring.
    You cannot display the entire hierarchy of a recursive document.

    How to fix this error?

    To display the entire hierarchy of the document, you must also display
    the hierarchy of document &V1& &V2& &V3& &V4&, from which the hierarchy
    is recursive.
