    Problem Report Number 1122
    Submitter's Classification Specification problem
    State Resolved
    Resolution Rejected (REJ)
    Problem Resolution ID REJ.X.0324
    Raised 1970-01-01 08:00
    Updated 2003-03-13 08:00
    Published null
    Product Standard Internationalised Terminal Interfaces
    Certification Program The Open Brand certification program
    Test Suite VSU version 5.0.2
    Test Identification xcurses/wuncrtl 2
    Problem Summary PG4U.00149 The test expects a different string for RS than the implementation produces.
    Problem Text
    This request applies to:

    /tset/CAPIxcurses/fwunctrl/fwunctrl1 2
    /tset/CAPIxcurses/functrl/functrl1 2

    In each case, the test verifies that the interface return control
    characters in "^X" notation by testing each control character against a
    sample character in that notation. But the test array includes:

    ...
    Test(u, "^]");
    u[0] = VSU_XC_RS;
    Test(u, "^~");
    u[0] = VSU_XC_US;
    Test(u, "^_");
    ...

    In our ASCII character set, VSU_XC_RS is "0x1e" and is respresented as
    "^^" rather than "^~".

    Review Recommendation No Resolution Given
    Review Response
    We recommend this request be refused.

    This test is verifying long standing historical practice, in which RS is
    represented as ^~. Changing this requirement would thus break backward
    compatability with existing implementations.

    Please note we have changed this from a TSD request to a PIN request as
    this is a specification issue, not a test issue.
