J3/02-126R2 Date: February 8, 2002 To: J3 From: Dick Hendrickson Subject: Chapter 13, editorial All comments (unless otherwise noted) apply to the January 2002 PDF Version of 007. 1) Section 13, page 277, line 3. Replace a tautology with current status. Proposal: 277:3 Change "Intrinsic subroutines may be elemental" to "Some intrinsic subroutines are elemental" 2) Page 278:17, make the section title singular, there is only one bit model Proposal: 278:17, change "models" to "model" 3) Page 279:23-24 The sentence is awkward and doesn't use the correct terms. I think the trailing "them" dangles. Proposal: Change 279:23-24 "The numeric manipulation and inquiry functions provide values related to the parameters and other constants related to them." To "The floating-point manipulation functions (13.5.10) and numeric inquiry functions (13.5.6) provide the values of some parameters and other values related to the models." 4) Withdrawn 5) Page 280, note 13.7 The description of BACK is untrue (or misleading) I'd read "indicate" to mean if it is present then the scan is backwards. But, it's also got to be TRUE Proposal. Note 13.7 Change description of BACK to "Controls the direction of a string scan (forward or backward)" 6) Withdrawn 7) Withdrawn
