                                   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

4/2   * the child packages Text_IO.Editing, Wide_Text_IO.Editing, and
        Wide_Wide_Text_IO.Editing, which support formatted and localized
        output of decimal data, based on "picture String" values.

5/2 See also: 3.5.9, "Fixed Point Types"; 3.5.10, "
Operations of Fixed Point Types"; 4.6, "Type Conversions"; 13.3, "
Operational and Representation Attributes"; A.10.9, "
Input-Output for Real Types"; B.3, "Interfacing with C and C++"; B.4, "
Interfacing with COBOL"; Annex G, "Numerics".

6   The character and string handling packages in Annex A, "
Predefined Language Environment" are also relevant for Information Systems.


                            Implementation Advice

7/3 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 the Convention aspect (see Annex B), thus allowing Ada programs to
interface with programs written in that language.


F.1 Machine_Radix Attribute Definition Clause



                              Static Semantics

1   Machine_Radix may be specified for a decimal first subtype (see 3.5.9) via
an attribute_definition_clause; the expression of such a clause shall be
static, and its value shall be 2 or 10. A value of 2 implies a binary base
range; a value of 10 implies a decimal base range.


                            Implementation Advice

2   Packed decimal should be used as the internal representation for objects
of subtype S when S'Machine_Radix = 10.


                                  Examples

3   Example of Machine_Radix attribute definition clause:

4       type Money is delta 0.01 digits 15;
        for Money'Machine_Radix use 10;


F.2 The Package Decimal



                              Static Semantics

1   The library package Decimal has the following declaration:

2       package Ada.Decimal is
           pragma Pure(Decimal);

3          Max_Scale : constant := implementation-defined;
           Min_Scale : constant := implementation-defined;

4          Min_Delta : constant := 10.0**(-Max_Scale);
           Max_Delta : constant := 10.0**(-Min_Scale);

5          Max_Decimal_Digits : constant := implementation-defined;

6/3        generic
              type Dividend_Type  is delta <> digits <>;
              type Divisor_Type   is delta <> digits <>;
              type Quotient_Type  is delta <> digits <>;
              type Remainder_Type is delta <> digits <>;
           procedure Divide (Dividend  : in Dividend_Type;
                             Divisor   : in Divisor_Type;
                             Quotient  : out Quotient_Type;
                             Remainder : out Remainder_Type)
              with Convention => Intrinsic;

7       end Ada.Decimal;

8   Max_Scale is the largest N such that 10.0**(-N) is allowed as a decimal
type's delta. Its type is universal_integer.

9   Min_Scale is the smallest N such that 10.0**(-N) is allowed as a decimal
type's delta. Its type is universal_integer.

10  Min_Delta is the smallest value allowed for delta in a
decimal_fixed_point_definition. Its type is universal_real.

11  Max_Delta is the largest value allowed for delta in a
decimal_fixed_point_definition. Its type is universal_real.

12  Max_Decimal_Digits is the largest value allowed for digits in a
decimal_fixed_point_definition. Its type is universal_integer.


                              Static Semantics

13  The effect of Divide is as follows. The value of Quotient is
Quotient_Type(Dividend/Divisor). The value of Remainder is
Remainder_Type(Intermediate), where Intermediate is the difference between
Dividend and the product of Divisor and Quotient; this result is computed
exactly.


                         Implementation Requirements

14  Decimal.Max_Decimal_Digits shall be at least 18.

15  Decimal.Max_Scale shall be at least 18.

16  Decimal.Min_Scale shall be at most 0.

        NOTES

17      1  The effect of division yielding a quotient with control over
        rounding versus truncation is obtained by applying either the function
        attribute Quotient_Type'Round or the conversion Quotient_Type to the
        expression Dividend/Divisor.


F.3 Edited Output for Decimal Types


1/2 The child packages Text_IO.Editing, Wide_Text_IO.Editing, and
Wide_Wide_Text_IO.Editing provide localizable formatted text output, known as
edited output, for decimal types. An edited output string is a function of a
numeric value, program-specifiable locale elements, and a format control
value. The numeric value is of some decimal type. The locale elements are:

2     * the currency string;

3     * the digits group separator character;

4     * the radix mark character; and

5     * the fill character that replaces leading zeros of the numeric value.

6/2 For Text_IO.Editing the edited output and currency strings are of type
String, and the locale characters are of type Character. For Wide_Text_IO.-
Editing their types are Wide_String and Wide_Character, respectively. For
Wide_Wide_Text_IO.Editing their types are Wide_Wide_String and Wide_Wide_-
Character, respectively.

7   Each of the locale elements has a default value that can be replaced or
explicitly overridden.

8   A format-control value is of the private type Picture; it determines the
composition of the edited output string and controls the form and placement of
the sign, the position of the locale elements and the decimal digits, the
presence or absence of a radix mark, suppression of leading zeros, and
insertion of particular character values.

9   A Picture object is composed from a String value, known as a picture
String, that serves as a template for the edited output string, and a Boolean
value that controls whether a string of all space characters is produced when
the number's value is zero. A picture String comprises a sequence of one- or
two-Character symbols, each serving as a placeholder for a character or string
at a corresponding position in the edited output string. The picture String
symbols fall into several categories based on their effect on the edited
output string:

10        Decimal Digit:    '9'
          Radix Control:    '.'   'V'
          Sign Control:     '+'   '-'   '<'   '>'   "CR"  "DB"
          Currency Control:       '$'   '#'
          Zero Suppression:       'Z'   '*'
          Simple Insertion:       '_'   'B'   '0'   '/'

11  The entries are not case-sensitive. Mixed- or lower-case forms for "CR"
and "DB", and lower-case forms for 'V', 'Z', and 'B', have the same effect as
the upper-case symbols shown.

12  An occurrence of a '9' Character in the picture String represents a
decimal digit position in the edited output string.

13  A radix control Character in the picture String indicates the position of
the radix mark in the edited output string: an actual character position for
'.', or an assumed position for 'V'.

14  A sign control Character in the picture String affects the form of the
sign in the edited output string. The '<' and '>' Character values indicate
parentheses for negative values. A Character '+', '-', or '<' appears either
singly, signifying a fixed-position sign in the edited output, or repeated,
signifying a floating-position sign that is preceded by zero or more space
characters and that replaces a leading 0.

15  A currency control Character in the picture String indicates an occurrence
of the currency string in the edited output string. The '$' Character
represents the complete currency string; the '#' Character represents one
character of the currency string. A '$' Character appears either singly,
indicating a fixed-position currency string in the edited output, or repeated,
indicating a floating-position currency string that occurs in place of a
leading 0. A sequence of '#' Character values indicates either a fixed- or
floating-position currency string, depending on context.

16  A zero suppression Character in the picture String allows a leading zero
to be replaced by either the space character (for 'Z') or the fill character
(for '*').

17  A simple insertion Character in the picture String represents, in general,
either itself (if '/' or '0'), the space character (if 'B'), or the digits
group separator character (if '_'). In some contexts it is treated as part of
a floating sign, floating currency, or zero suppression string.

18/2 An example of a picture String is "<###Z_ZZ9.99>". If the currency string
is "kr", the separator character is ',', and the radix mark is '.' then the
edited output string values for the decimal values 32.10 and -5432.10 are
"bbkrbbb32.10b" and "(bkr5,432.10)", respectively, where 'b' indicates the
space character.

19/2 The generic packages Text_IO.Decimal_IO, Wide_Text_IO.Decimal_IO, and
Wide_Wide_Text_IO.Decimal_IO (see A.10.9, "Input-Output for Real Types")
provide text input and nonedited text output for decimal types.

        NOTES

20/2    2  A picture String is of type Standard.String, for all of
        Text_IO.Editing, Wide_Text_IO.Editing, and Wide_Wide_Text_IO.Editing.


F.3.1 Picture String Formation


1/3 A well-formed picture String, or simply picture String, is a String value
that conforms to the syntactic rules, composition constraints, and character
replication conventions specified in this subclause.

39  The following composition constraints apply to a picture String:

40    * A floating_LHS_sign does not have occurrences of different LHS_Sign
        Character values.

41    * If a picture String has '<' as fixed_LHS_sign, then it has '>' as
        RHS_sign.

42    * If a picture String has '<' in a floating_LHS_sign or in an
        all_sign_number, then it has an occurrence of '>'.

43/1   * If a picture String has '+' or '-' as fixed_LHS_sign, in a
        floating_LHS_sign, or in an all_sign_number, then it has no RHS_sign
        or '>' character.

44    * An instance of all_sign_number does not have occurrences of different
        sign_char Character values.

45    * An instance of all_currency_number does not have occurrences of
        different currency_char Character values.

46    * An instance of all_zero_suppression_number does not have occurrences
        of different zero_suppression_char Character values, except for
        possible case differences between 'Z' and 'z'.

47  A replicable Character is a Character that, by the above rules, can occur
in two consecutive positions in a picture String.

48  A Character replication is a String

49      char & '(' & spaces & count_string & ')'

50  where char is a replicable Character, spaces is a String (possibly empty)
comprising only space Character values, and count_string is a String of one or
more decimal digit Character values. A Character replication in a picture
String has the same effect as (and is said to be equivalent to) a String
comprising n consecutive occurrences of char, where
n=Integer'Value(count_string).

51  An expanded picture String is a picture String containing no Character
replications.

        NOTES

52      3  Although a sign to the left of the number can float, a sign to the
        right of the number is in a fixed position.


F.3.2 Edited Output Generation



                              Dynamic Semantics

1   The contents of an edited output string are based on:

2     * A value, Item, of some decimal type Num,

3     * An expanded picture String Pic_String,

4     * A Boolean value, Blank_When_Zero,

5     * A Currency string,

6     * A Fill character,

7     * A Separator character, and

8     * A Radix_Mark character.

9   The combination of a True value for Blank_When_Zero and a '*' character in
Pic_String is inconsistent; no edited output string is defined.

10  A layout error is identified in the rules below if leading nonzero digits
of Item, character values of the Currency string, or a negative sign would be
truncated; in such cases no edited output string is defined.

11  The edited output string has lower bound 1 and upper bound N where N =
Pic_String'Length + Currency_Length_Adjustment - Radix_Adjustment, and

12    * Currency_Length_Adjustment = Currency'Length - 1 if there is some
        occurrence of '$' in Pic_String, and 0 otherwise.

13    * Radix_Adjustment = 1 if there is an occurrence of 'V' or 'v' in
        Pic_Str, and 0 otherwise.

14  Let the magnitude of Item be expressed as a base-10 number
I(p)···I(1).F(1)···F(q), called the displayed magnitude of Item, where:

15    * q = Min(Max(Num'Scale, 0), n) where n is 0 if Pic_String has no radix
        and is otherwise the number of digit positions following radix in
        Pic_String, where a digit position corresponds to an occurrence of
        '9', a zero_suppression_char (for an all_zero_suppression_number), a
        currency_char (for an all_currency_number), or a sign_char (for an
        all_sign_number).

16    * I(p) /= 0 if p>0.

17  If n < Num'Scale, then the above number is the result of rounding (away
from 0 if exactly midway between values).

18  If Blank_When_Zero = True and the displayed magnitude of Item is zero,
then the edited output string comprises all space character values. Otherwise,
the picture String is treated as a sequence of instances of syntactic
categories based on the rules in F.3.1, and the edited output string is the
concatenation of string values derived from these categories according to the
following mapping rules.

19  Table F-1 shows the mapping from a sign control symbol to a corresponding
character or string in the edited output. In the columns showing the edited
output, a lower-case 'b' represents the space character. If there is no sign
control symbol but the value of Item is negative, a layout error occurs and no
edited output string is produced.

          ')'
          "CR"                                                             
          "bb"

          "bb"                                                             
          "DB"
20  An instance of fixed_LHS_sign maps to a character as shown in Table F-1.

21  An instance of fixed_$_char maps to Currency.

22  An instance of direct_insertion maps to Separator if direct_insertion =
'_', and to the direct_insertion Character otherwise.

23  An instance of number maps to a string integer_part & radix_part &
fraction_part where:

24    * The string for integer_part is obtained as follows:

25      1.  Occurrences of '9' in fore_digits of number are replaced from
            right to left with the decimal digit character values for I(1),
            ..., I(p), respectively.

26      2.  Each occurrence of '9' in fore_digits to the left of the leftmost
            '9' replaced according to rule 1 is replaced with '0'.

27      3.  If p exceeds the number of occurrences of '9' in fore_digits of
            number, then the excess leftmost digits are eligible for use in
            the mapping of an instance of zero_suppression, floating_LHS_sign,
            floating_$_currency, or floating_#_currency to the left of number;
            if there is no such instance, then a layout error occurs and no
            edited output string is produced.

28    * The radix_part is:

29        * "" if number does not include a radix, if radix = 'V', or if radix
            = 'v'

30        * Radix_Mark if number includes '.' as radix

31    * The string for fraction_part is obtained as follows:

32      1.  Occurrences of '9' in aft_digits of number are replaced from left
            to right with the decimal digit character values for F(1), ...
            F(q).

33      2.  Each occurrence of '9' in aft_digits to the right of the rightmost
            '9' replaced according to rule 1 is replaced by '0'.

34  An instance of zero_suppression maps to the string obtained as follows:

35  1.  The rightmost 'Z', 'z', or '*' Character values are replaced with the
        excess digits (if any) from the integer_part of the mapping of the
        number to the right of the zero_suppression instance,

36  2.  A context_sensitive_insertion Character is replaced as though it were
        a direct_insertion Character, if it occurs to the right of some 'Z',
        'z', or '*' in zero_suppression that has been mapped to an excess
        digit,

37  3.  Each Character to the left of the leftmost Character replaced
        according to rule 1 above is replaced by:

38        * the space character if the zero suppression Character is 'Z' or
            'z', or

39        * the Fill character if the zero suppression Character is '*'.

40  4.  A layout error occurs if some excess digits remain after all 'Z', 'z',
        and '*' Character values in zero_suppression have been replaced via
        rule 1; no edited output string is produced.

41  An instance of RHS_sign maps to a character or string as shown in Table
F-1.

42  An instance of floating_LHS_sign maps to the string obtained as follows.

43  1.  Up to all but one of the rightmost LHS_Sign Character values are
        replaced by the excess digits (if any) from the integer_part of the
        mapping of the number to the right of the floating_LHS_sign instance.

44  2.  The next Character to the left is replaced with the character given by
        the entry in Table F-1 corresponding to the LHS_Sign Character.

45  3.  A context_sensitive_insertion Character is replaced as though it were
        a direct_insertion Character, if it occurs to the right of the
        leftmost LHS_Sign character replaced according to rule 1.

46  4.  Any other Character is replaced by the space character..

47  5.  A layout error occurs if some excess digits remain after replacement
        via rule 1; no edited output string is produced.

48  An instance of fixed_#_currency maps to the Currency string with n space
character values concatenated on the left (if the instance does not follow a
radix) or on the right (if the instance does follow a radix), where n is the
difference between the length of the fixed_#_currency instance and
Currency'Length. A layout error occurs if Currency'Length exceeds the length
of the fixed_#_currency instance; no edited output string is produced.

49  An instance of floating_$_currency maps to the string obtained as follows:

50  1.  Up to all but one of the rightmost '$' Character values are replaced
        with the excess digits (if any) from the integer_part of the mapping
        of the number to the right of the floating_$_currency instance.

51  2.  The next Character to the left is replaced by the Currency string.

52  3.  A context_sensitive_insertion Character is replaced as though it were
        a direct_insertion Character, if it occurs to the right of the
        leftmost '$' Character replaced via rule 1.

53  4.  Each other Character is replaced by the space character.

54  5.  A layout error occurs if some excess digits remain after replacement
        by rule 1; no edited output string is produced.

55  An instance of floating_#_currency maps to the string obtained as follows:

56  1.  Up to all but one of the rightmost '#' Character values are replaced
        with the excess digits (if any) from the integer_part of the mapping
        of the number to the right of the floating_#_currency instance.

57  2.  The substring whose last Character occurs at the position immediately
        preceding the leftmost Character replaced via rule 1, and whose length
        is Currency'Length, is replaced by the Currency string.

58  3.  A context_sensitive_insertion Character is replaced as though it were
        a direct_insertion Character, if it occurs to the right of the
        leftmost '#' replaced via rule 1.

59  4.  Any other Character is replaced by the space character.

60  5.  A layout error occurs if some excess digits remain after replacement
        rule 1, or if there is no substring with the required length for
        replacement rule 2; no edited output string is produced.

61  An instance of all_zero_suppression_number maps to:

62    * a string of all spaces if the displayed magnitude of Item is zero, the
        zero_suppression_char is 'Z' or 'z', and the instance of
        all_zero_suppression_number does not have a radix at its last
        character position;

63    * a string containing the Fill character in each position except for the
        character (if any) corresponding to radix, if zero_suppression_char =
        '*' and the displayed magnitude of Item is zero;

64    * otherwise, the same result as if each zero_suppression_char in
        all_zero_suppression_aft were '9', interpreting the instance of
        all_zero_suppression_number as either zero_suppression number (if a
        radix and all_zero_suppression_aft are present), or as
        zero_suppression otherwise.

65  An instance of all_sign_number maps to:

66    * a string of all spaces if the displayed magnitude of Item is zero and
        the instance of all_sign_number does not have a radix at its last
        character position;

67    * otherwise, the same result as if each sign_char in all_sign_number_aft
        were '9', interpreting the instance of all_sign_number as either
        floating_LHS_sign number (if a radix and all_sign_number_aft are
        present), or as floating_LHS_sign otherwise.

68  An instance of all_currency_number maps to:

69    * a string of all spaces if the displayed magnitude of Item is zero and
        the instance of all_currency_number does not have a radix at its last
        character position;

70    * otherwise, the same result as if each currency_char in
        all_currency_number_aft were '9', interpreting the instance of
        all_currency_number as floating_$_currency number or
        floating_#_currency number (if a radix and all_currency_number_aft are
        present), or as floating_$_currency or floating_#_currency otherwise.


                                  Examples

71  In the result string values shown below, 'b' represents the space

F.3.3 The Package Text_IO.Editing


1   The package Text_IO.Editing provides a private type Picture with
associated operations, and a generic package Decimal_Output. An object of type
Picture is composed from a well-formed picture String (see F.3.1) and a
Boolean item indicating whether a zero numeric value will result in an edited
output string of all space characters. The package Decimal_Output contains
edited output subprograms implementing the effects defined in F.3.2.

44/3        Put copies Image(Item, Pic, Currency, Fill, Separator, Radix_Mark)
            to the given string, right justified. Otherwise, unassigned
            Character values in To are assigned the space character. If
            To'Length is less than the length of the string resulting from
            Image, then Layout_Error is raised.


                         Implementation Requirements

45  Max_Picture_Length shall be at least 30. The implementation shall support
currency strings of length up to at least 10, both for Default_Currency in an
instantiation of Decimal_Output, and for Currency in an invocation of Image or
any of the Put procedures.

        NOTES

46      4  The rules for edited output are based on COBOL (ANSI X3.23:1985,
        endorsed by ISO as ISO 1989-1985), with the following differences:

47        * The COBOL provisions for picture string localization and for 'P'
            format are absent from Ada.

48        * The following Ada facilities are not in COBOL:

49            * currency symbol placement after the number,

50            * localization of edited output string for multi-character
                currency string values, including support for both
                length-preserving and length-expanding currency symbols in
                picture strings

51            * localization of the radix mark, digits separator, and fill
                character, and

52            * parenthesization of negative values.

52.1    The value of 30 for Max_Picture_Length is the same limit as in COBOL.


F.3.4 The Package Wide_Text_IO.Editing



                              Static Semantics

1   The child package Wide_Text_IO.Editing has the same contents as
Text_IO.Editing, except that:

2     * each occurrence of Character is replaced by Wide_Character,

3     * each occurrence of Text_IO is replaced by Wide_Text_IO,

4     * the subtype of Default_Currency is Wide_String rather than String, and

5     * each occurrence of String in the generic package Decimal_Output is
        replaced by Wide_String.

        NOTES

6       5  Each of the functions Wide_Text_IO.Editing.Valid, To_Picture, and
        Pic_String has String (versus Wide_String) as its parameter or result
        subtype, since a picture String is not localizable.


F.3.5 The Package Wide_Wide_Text_IO.Editing



                              Static Semantics

1/2 The child package Wide_Wide_Text_IO.Editing has the same contents as
Text_IO.Editing, except that:

2/2   * each occurrence of Character is replaced by Wide_Wide_Character,

3/2   * each occurrence of Text_IO is replaced by Wide_Wide_Text_IO,

4/2   * the subtype of Default_Currency is Wide_Wide_String rather than
        String, and

5/2   * each occurrence of String in the generic package Decimal_Output is
        replaced by Wide_Wide_String.

        NOTES

6/2     6  Each of the functions Wide_Wide_Text_IO.Editing.Valid, To_Picture,
        and Pic_String has String (versus Wide_Wide_String) as its parameter
        or result subtype, since a picture String is not localizable.
