    Problem Report Number 2514
    Submitter's Classification Test Suite problem
    State Resolved
    Resolution Test Suite Deficiency (TSD)
    Problem Resolution ID TSD.X.1301
    Raised 2006-04-10 23:16
    Updated 2006-04-12 01:39
    Published 2006-04-12 01:39
    Product Standard Commands and Utilities V4 (UNIX 03)
    Certification Program The Open Brand certification program
    Test Suite VSC version 5.2.7
    Test Identification POSIX.upe/vi/vi_05.ex 254
    Specification Shell and Utilities Issue 6
    Location in Spec Line 39187 in XCU TC2
    Problem Summary vi assertion 254 not updated for UNIX03
    Problem Text from vi_05.sh

    ########################################################################
    #
    # Assertion: 254
    # Standard: POSIX
    # Type: C
    # When [count] r <newline> is entered in command mode, then vi
    replaces the
    # next count characters in the current line with a single <newline>
    and
    # positions the cursor to the first character of the newly generated
    line.
    ########################################################################


    This test executes the following commands in vi

    /c <cr>
    r <cr>
    i 1 <esc>
    /h <cr>
    3r <cr>
    i 2 <esc>
    :x <cr>

    and expects the following output

    $ cat vi_exp_1
    first
    se
    1ond
    t
    2d
    last


    However, SUSv3 TC2 states the following for replace character
    command(lines 39187 to 39191)

    If character is <carriage-return> or <newline>, count new lines shall be
    appended to the current line. All but the last of these lines shall be
    empty. count characters at and after the cursor shall be discarded, and
    any remaining characters after the cursor in the current line shall be
    moved to the last of the new lines. If the autoindent edit option is
    set, they shall be preceded by the same number of autoindent characters
    found on the line from which the command was executed.


    Thus the 3r<cr> would be expected to insert two blank lines and move the
    remaining characters to a third line.

    so the expected output should be

    first
    se
    1ond
    t


    2d
    last
