To: J3 Members J3/16-134 From: Van Snyder Subject: Comments on DATE_AND_TIME Reference: 16-007 Date: 2016 January 25 [356:6-8 13.8.54p3 DATE] Set C, Y, M, D as lower-case italic letters, for consistency with the descriptions of other arguments. [356:6 13.8.54p3 DATE] After "where" insert "c, d, m, and y are decimal digits," so that zero-suppression is prohibited. [356:10 13.8.54p3 TIME] After "where" insert "h, m, and s are decimal digits," so that zero-suppression is prohibited. [356:14 13.8.54p3 ZONE] After "where" insert "h and m are decimal digits," so that zero-suppression is prohibited. Alternative to the edits for [356:6, 10, 14]: [356:29+ 13.8.54p3+] Insert a paragraph: "The characters c, d, h, m, s, and y represent decimal digits." [356:31 13.8.54p4] Delete "or not" after "whether". [356:34 13.8.54p5] Put quotation marks around "20080412" because it's a character literal.
