3.13. Annex F: Information Systems

Q: F(7): COBOL Support
Q: F.1(2): Decimal Radix Support

Q: F(7): COBOL Support

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) in the interfacing pragmas (see Annex B), thus allowing Ada programs to interface with programs written in that language.

A: Not applicable. COBOL is not supported by XGC Ada.

Q: F.1(2): Decimal Radix Support

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

A: Not followed. XGC Ada ignores S'Machine_Radix and always uses binary representations.
