Annex F
(normative)
Information Systems
1
This Annex provides a set of
facilities relevant to Information Systems programming. These fall into
several categories:
2
an attribute definition
clause specifying Machine_Radix for a decimal subtype;
3
the package Decimal, which declares a set of constants
defining the implementation's capacity for decimal types, and a generic
procedure for decimal division; and

the child packages Text_IO.Editing
, and Wide_Text_IO.Editing
, and Wide_Wide_Text_IO.Editing,
which support formatted and localized output of decimal data, based on
“picture String” values.

Implementation Advice

{
AI05-0229-1}
If COBOL (respectively, C) is widely supported in the target environment,
implementations supporting the Information Systems Annex should provide
the child package Interfaces.COBOL (respectively, Interfaces.C) specified
in
Annex B and should support a
convention_identifier
of COBOL (respectively, C)
for in
the
Convention aspect interfacing
pragmas (see
Annex B), thus allowing Ada
programs to interface with programs written in that language.
7.a/2
Implementation Advice:
If COBOL (respectively, C) is supported
in the target environment, then interfacing to COBOL (respectively, C)
should be supported as specified in Annex B.
Extensions to Ada 83
