  • Key: EXPRESS_-60
  • Legacy Issue Number: 13706
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Thematix Partners LLC ( Mr. Edward J. Barkmeyer)
  • Summary:

    In 12.11 BuiltInConstants, the Indeterminate Literal ("?") appears in the diagram in Figure 42, but is not documented in the text.
  • Reported: EXPRESS 1.0b1 — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 04:00 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — EXPRESS 1.0
  • Disposition Summary:

    The Indeterminate Literal (“?”) is modeled in clause 12.3.4 as IndeterminateRef, and is documented there. It is treated as a distinct kind of Primary, rather than as an instance of Literal, because it does not refer to a SimpleValue.
    Delete the Indeterminate object from the diagram in Figure 42, and add a Note to 12.3.4.
    Issue 13707 replaces Figure 42, implementing the deletion.
