    Test Suite VSX4 version 4.5.4
    Test Identification XPG4.os/genuts/strfmon test 1
    Specification Base Definitions Issue 6
    Location in Spec SUSv3 TC1 lines 4782-4875
    Problem Summary Incorrect expect value
    Problem Text From the test output the expected output is [- 1112*4FRF] but from the
    VSXL2 locale source

    int_n_cs_precedes 0
    int_n_sep_by_space 2
    int_n_sign_posn 1

    according to the SUSv3 TC1 spec when int_n_sep_by_space is set to 2 then
    the currency symbol and the sign symbol are to be seperated by a space
    if they are adjacent. But in this locale int_n_sign_posn = 1 which
    places the sign before the value and the currency symbol, and with
    int_n_cs_precedes set to 0, the currency symbol follows the value. So
    the expected value is incorrect because the sign and currency symbols
    are not adjacent.
    Test Output
    ************************************************************************
    /tset/XPG4.os/genuts/strfmon/T.strfmon 1 Failed

    Test Description:
    If strfmon() is supported:
    When the format contains a "%" character followed by a i
    directive, then strfmon() formats the corresponding double
    argument according to the international currency format
    associated
    with the locale for the LC_MONETARY category. The grouping
    character for this locale is inserted and the locale's defaults
    for precision and negative value formatting are used.
    Otherwise:
    A call to strfmon() returns -1 and sets errno to ENOSYS.

    Test Strategy:
    SET locale for LC_MONETARY category
    CALL strfmon(buf,maxsize,format,value)
    VERIFY that buf[] contains the expected value

    Test Information:

    strfmon(buf, 256, "%i", ...) did not return expected results
    the %i format converts to international currency format
    Current language is VSX4L2
    Expected string : [- 1112*4FRF]
    Actual string : [-1112*4FRF]

    Review Recommendation Rejected (REJ)
    Review Response The specification describes the int_n_sep_by_space value of 2 as follows:

    "If the currency symbol and sign string are adjacent, a space separates
    them; otherwise, a space separates the sign string from the value."

    In the test the currency symbol and sign string are not adjacent,
    therefore the "otherwise" clause from the above applies and a space must
    separate the sign string from the value. The required space is missing
    from the string produced by this strfmon() implementation.

    Review Conclusion TC2 has modified the base specification with respect to the clause
    that the submitter cites

    TC2 describes the int_n_sep_by_space value of 2 as follows:

    "If the currency symbol and sign string are adjacent, a space
    separates them;
    > otherwise, a space separates the sign string from the value."

    In the test the currency symbol and sign string are not adjacent,
    therefore the "otherwise" clause from the above applies and a space
    must separate the sign string from the value. The required space is
    missing from the string produced by this strfmon() implementation.
