    Problem Text
    This was refused because it is a duplicate. Use PIN4U.00023 instead.

    While the test suite assumes that a call to ecvt():
    ecvt(0.000000, 6)
    sets the radix indicator to 1, the specification makes no mention of how
    this is set in the case of zero, and we believe that the indicator may
    also be properly set to zero in this case. Since the specification makes
    no mention, either this case should not be tested or a waiver granted.
    Test Output
    SPEC1170TESTSUITE CASE 5
    A call to char *ecvt(double value, int
    ndigit, int *decpt, int *sign) shall store the
    position of the radix character relative to the
    beginning of the returned string indirectly through
    decpt with a positive value meaning to the right of
    the returned string and a negative value meaning to
    the left of the returned string.
