J3/01-304 Date: 6 August 2001 To: J3 From: WG5 Members Subject: Interp JP-31 (Signs of literal constants) WG5 members in London considered Interp JP-31 and recommend as follows. The HISTORY mentions the action recommended by WG5. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- NUMBER: JP-31 TITLE: Signs of literal constants KEYWORDS: DEFECT TYPE: STATUS: J3 consideration in progress QUESTION: JP-31) The fourth sentence of 10.8 and sixth sentence of 10.9: "Each value is either a null value or one of the forms: c r*c r* where c is a literal constant or a nondelimited character constant and r is an unsigned, nonzero, integer literal constant." "a literal constant" should be "an optionally signed literal constant" ANSWER: Add the phrase, "if integer or real" to that last phrase above. EDIT: [175:5] Replace "constant or" by "constant, optionally signed if integer or real, or" [178:40] Replace "constant and" by "constant, optionally signed if integer or real, and" Note for F2000: The phrase "literal constant" [73:34] in F95 is not the BNF term but F95 doesn't say if "literal constant" is signed.
