Hi Walter, Yes, well, it could be a typo. I am worried about all other implementations, including NetRexx and z/OS TSO, z/VM, Regina, brexx, etc, being wrong if this is the right way. It certainly fails the (however subjective) principle of least astonishment, and I also get the feeling the ‘numeric digits’ statement is not necessarily meant for the next instance of ‘numeric digits’. Changing the error message would go a long way: ‘with numeric digits set to X, Y is not a valid positive whole number.’
I’ll put it on the list for the ARB. Who wants to be on the ARB? We have an obligation to run an Architecture Review Board, as discussed during the symposium. I am looking for volunteers. I suggest at least Erich and Rick be on it. I suggest we do not convene more than once a quarter.
