J3/09-105r1 To: J3 From: Van Snyder/Stan Whitlock Subject: Clarify interaction of P and F editing Reference: 09-007 Date: 2009 February 10 1. The problem The specification of the effect of P editing on F editing during output is hiding in a list item in 10.8.5 that begins "On input,...." At least one compiler has overlooked this, and produced incorrect output. The effect of P editing on F editing during output would be more clearly explained in a separate list item. 2. Edits [263:14: 10.8.5p1]------------------------------------------------------ Editor: Replace "editing of" by "editing done by" (the edit descriptor isn't edited). [263:16: 10.8.5p2]------------------------------------------------------ Editor: Delete "and F output editing" from the first list item. [263:20+: 10.8.5p2]----------------------------------------------------- Insert a third list item "o On output, with F editing, the effect of the scale factor is that the externally represented number equals the internally represented number multiplied by $10^k$." [263:21: 10.8.5p2]------------------------------------------------------ Within the existing third list item, insert "the effect of the scale factor is that" before "the significand".
