> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: DAFFODIL-1630
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-1630
> Project: Daffodil
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Back End, DFDL Language
> Reporter: Michael Beckerle
> Assignee: Michael Beckerle
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: deferred
>
>
> This was clarified on DFDL workgroup call on 2016-10-11
> Verify that Daffodil conforms to erratum 5.18 per below.
> lengthKind ' expression ' when unparsing
> Spec says "When dfdl:lengthKind is 'explicit' (and dfdl:length is an
> expression), 'delimited',
> 'prefixed', 'pattern' the data value is padded to the length given by the XSD
> minLength facet
> for type 'xs:string' or dfdl:textOutputMinLength property for other type" .
> This is not the latest agreed thinking. The desired behaviour is as
> documented by erratum 5.18
> in Experience Document 4, which states the expression is evaluated and the
> result taken as
> the explicit length. This has not yet been added to the spec.
