Here's my attempt at a replacement for the L63558-63562 change in bug 472 (note 886) which addresses the last two bullets in item 1 above. It doesn't just omit mention of sign characters as I suggested; instead it splits the no-field-width case into an unshaded part that matches C99 and a CX shaded part that covers values outside the (00-99) range that C99 specifies. ---------------- If a minimum field width is not specified: <ul> <li> If the year is between 0 and 9999 inclusive, two characters shall be placed into the array pointed to by <i>s</i>, including a leading '0' if there would otherwise be only a single digit.</li> <li> [CX]If the year is less than 0 or greater than 9999, the number of characters placed into the array pointed to by <i>s</i> shall be the number of digits and leading sign characters (if any) in the result of dividing the year by 100 and truncating, or two, whichever is greater.[/CX] </li> </ul> [CX] If a minimum field width is specified, the number of characters placed into the array pointed to by <i>s</i> shall be the number of digits and leading sign characters (if any) in the result of dividing the year by 100 and truncating, or the minimum field width, whichever is greater.[/CX] ---------------- If folks are okay with this, I will create a new note in bug 472 that includes it and also covers the first two bullets in item 1 above. -- Geoff Clare <g.cl...@opengroup.org> The Open Group, Apex Plaza, Forbury Road, Reading, RG1 1AX, England
