Subject: Ada 95 LRM Error?
Date: 1999/01/27
Date: 1999-01-27T00:00:00+00:00 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <36AF6C22.896FC5B8@easystreet.com> (raw)
I'm looking at the Ada 95 Reference Manual, B.4.106. It shows
a field:
Name : COBOL.Numeric(1..20);
Later on, in B.4.109, this gets assigned:
Name => "Johnson, John ",
This looks pretty obviously like an error, and I think it probably
should be Alphanumeric instead of Numeric. However, Numeric is what
it is, both in my printed version of the LRM and the online LRM
that comes with the brand-new edition of AdaGide.
Is 20 even going to work for a Numeric size on typical platforms? That's
more than 64 bits.
Am I wrong or is this in need of fixing? How would that happen?
Al
