J3/05-105 Date: 9 December 2004 To: J3 From: Van Snyder Subject: Suggested additions to 04-008 Suggested additions to 04-008: [xiii, item(3)]: "complex" => "complicated". [50:6] "attribute nor the" => "nor". [73:11] Insert "The" or "An" after (R504) -- or at least insert a space. [74:25] "alternatively may" => "may alternatively" [158:1] Remove excessive space between "The" and "CASE" (caused by consecutive \mindex items with a blank or newline between them). [86:13] Remove excessive space between "module." and "The" (caused by consecutive \mindex items with a blank or newline between them). [163:6] Insert "kind" after "and" [167:25] Remove excessive space between "a" and "CYCLE" (caused by consecutive \mindex items with a blank or newline between them). [168:4] Remove excessive space between "an" and "EXIT" (caused by consecutive \mindex items with a blank or newline between them). [168:12-19] Add a comma at the end of each item, then add "or" after the comma at the end of item (5). [170:18] Remove excessive space between "a" and "CONTINUE" (caused by consecutive \mindex items with a blank or newline between them). [267:15-17] Should be identical to C727 @ 144:5-6. [292:26] Remove excessive space between "a" and "model" (caused by consecutive \mindex items with a blank or newline between them). ======================================================================= The index needs significant focused coordinated attention. At least the following (but a lot more): [45:8, 70:10] Add an index item for statements!TYPE. [75:7] Add an index item for TYPE. [160:2] Add an index item for statements!ASSOCIATE. [162:2] Add an index item for SELECT TYPE and statements!SELECT TYPE. [163:6] Add an index item for statements!TYPE IS. [163:7] Add an index item for statements!CLASS IS. ======================================================================= Are these editorial or technical? [83:24+] Define <>. [280:23-25] Delete "The specifications ... (12.2)" because it duplicates 12.2. If "information in the procedure heading" includes RECURSIVE -- which appears not to be excluded -- it's incorrect as well. [407:24ff] 16.2.3 belongs in 12.3.2 (perhaps with constraints, since it won't be in 16 any more). ======================================================================= Question without answers [148:4-5] What if is scalar? [341:13+] Should procedure pointers be in the table?
