However, the AIX, Solaris and CSSC prs utilities do not recognise it (Solaris and CSSC output :KV: unaltered; non-support on AIX is based on the online AIX man page). HP-UX is the only implementation I could find that supports it, and it appears that all it does is substitute :KV: with "none", so I suspect the only reason it recognises the value is because it is listed in SUS.
The VSC test for this keyword says that it has not been implemented pending interpretation VWG/065/011994. So it seems that this is a known problem that was first raised in 1994 but has persisted until now. Unfortunately that date (Jan 19, 1994) predates the start of the ogtgbase email archive, and consequently I have been unable to find how that interpretation was resolved. Being 27 years old it probably doesn't affect how this should be handled now anyway. Desired Action: 1. Issue a "defect case" interpretation. 2. Delete the :KV: row of the table:<blockquote>| :KV: | Keyword validation string | " | text | S |</blockquote> ====================================================================== Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2021-02-11 15:07 geoffclare New Issue 2021-02-11 15:07 geoffclare Name => Geoff Clare 2021-02-11 15:07 geoffclare Organization => The Open Group 2021-02-11 15:07 geoffclare Section => prs 2021-02-11 15:07 geoffclare Page Number => 3120 2021-02-11 15:07 geoffclare Line Number => 104398 2021-02-11 15:07 geoffclare Interp Status => --- ======================================================================
