Problem Topic
Sect.3.13.1: Misleading text
Problem Description
Page 27, section 3.13.1
The first two sentences read: "The device(s) to which output data will be sent is controlled by the DISPLY statement. This statement specifies one or more of the following as output devices:"
The DISPLY statement does not necessarily specify any output device. It may simply turn them all off, as described on page 332. Thus, the second sentence above is misleading.

Suggested Resolution
Change the second sentence to read: "This statement either turns all
output off or specifies one or more of the following as output devices:"

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.
