Problem Topic
OUTPUT: Clarification of text

Problem Description
Page 337, next-to-last line.

This reads: "The DME will output results in the order in which the OUPUT statements appear in the input program."

This is confusing because it sounds as though it is talking about a set of OUTPUT statements, and it sounds as though one must look back through the program and find where things are defined in order to figure out the order in which they will be output.

The line should be revised to make it clear it is talking about only one OUTPUT statement and about the sub-items within that one OUTPUT statement.

Suggested Resolution
Reword the line as follows: "The DME will output results in the order in which the OUTPUT statement lists them."

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.

Change page 337, next to last line, "Input" to "DMIS."
