ref:SMS_Collection parentCollection,
ref:SMS_Collection subCollection,
Boolean Result
);

Data type: BooleanQualifiers: [out]
true if the supplied parent-child relationship does not create a loop condition. If this parameter is set to false, the child collection should not be part of the parent collection.
