07-242 To: J3 From: Van Snyder Subject: Files of ASCII type Date: 2007 July 05 [233:32-38]--------------------------------------------------------------- We have ASCII, ISO 10646 or DEFAULT character kinds. What's wrong with ASCII files? Editor: Insert ", ASCII," after "UTF-8" at [233:32]. Insert "The value ASCII specifies that the encoding form of the file is ASCII as specified in ISO/IEC 646:1991. Such a file is called an <> and all characters therein are of ASCII type. The value ASCII shall not be specified if the processor does not support the ASCII character type." after "type." at [233:36]. Replace [278:3] by "During input from an ASCII file, o characters in the record that correspond to a character variable shall have the kind of the character variable, and o characters in the record that correspond to a numeric, logical, or bits variable shall be of ASCII character type. During input from a file that is neither Unicode nor ASCII," At [279:3+] insert a new paragraph "During output to an ASCII file, characters transmitted to the record as a result of processing a character string edit descriptor or as a result of evaluating a numeric, logical, bits or ASCII character data entity, are of type ASCII character. At [279:4] replace "non-Unicode file" by "file that is neither Unicode nor ASCII".
