Problem Topic
Sect.3.10.5: Contradicts 3.10.3
Problem Description
Page 24, section 3.10.5
This section begins "When executed the OUTPUT statement causes the computation of the feature actual, FA(label) ..."
This is inconsistent with section 3.10.3 on the same page, which says the OUTPUT statement causes the system to retrieve (not compute) the feature actual.
The feature actual is most convenient to compute when an ENDMES is executed. When OUTPUT is executed, the feature actual does not need to be computed again. Indeed, it cannot be computed unless the point measurements for the feature have been saved.

Suggested Resolution
Reword the first sentence of section 3.10.5 to read as follows (which
is consistent with section 3.10.3): "When executed, the OUTPUT statement
causes the feature actual, FA(label), to be retrieved and the tolerance
actual, TA(label), to be computed."

Resolution
Warning!!
The following statement is only a resolution to a Standard Improvement Request (SIR) and is NOT part of the current DMIS standard, nor is it guaranteed to become part of the next revision of the DMIS standard even if voted and accepted by the DMIS National Standards Committee. This resolution is tentative because it may not be incorporated into the next version of the standard, it could be changed prior to the next release, or it could be changed as the result of the "public review and comment" period required for the next version of the standard. If you choose to use this tentative resolution, you do so at your own risk since at this time it is not part of the DMIS standard.
Modify text in section 3.10.5.
The SIR 97-49 supercedes 97-23 with respect to section 3.10.5 with the following;
"feature actual" in the first sentence becomes "feature actual(s)".
