J3/01-374R1 Date: 4-dec-2001 To: J3 From: Subgroup C Subject: Response to 01-374 from Dick Hendrickson >This is an update of 279/R2 from meeting 158. I deleted the items >that were taken care of at the last meeting to make it easier for the >B team to process. I kept the same numbering scheme as in 279 so that >notes from last meeting should still be valid. >Page, etc., numbers have been updated to the current 007/R4 PDF version >3) Page 28[8+], 3.3.1.2 Is it worth saying that the ";" is not part of the >statement? Might apply to earlier restriction that a labeled statement >must have a non blank character. Is >999 ; ! legal? The ; is not part of the statement it terminates. Edits: (to 01-007R4) [28:9] after 'comment. ' add 'The ";" is not part of the statement. ' [29:22] after '6. ' add 'The ";" is not part of the statement. ' >4) Page 28[2+], 3.3.1.1. We don't appear to cover a line like > a = 3; >nothing is said about what follows the ; Is it commentary? or what? >same thing applies to 3.3.2.1 for fixed form Non-blank text following the ";" on the same line is either a comment (if the first character is "!"), a new statement (if the first character is not "!" or ";"), or an ignored sequence of blank and ";" characters. If all of the characters on the line which follow the ";" are blanks they are ignored. No edits seem needed for this issue.
