Conforming Programs

Draft MDC Standard

3.2. Programs

A strictly conforming program shall use only the constructs specified in Section 1 of this standard, shall not exceed the limits and restrictions specified in Section 2 of the Standard and shall not depend on extensions of an implementation or implementation-dependent features.

A strictly conforming non-ASCII program is a strictly conforming program, except that the restrictions to the ASCII character set in Section 2 are removed.

A strictly conforming <National Body> program is a strictly conforming program, except that the restrictions in Section 2 are replaced by those specified by the <National Body> and any extensions specified by the <National Body> may be used.

A conforming program is one that is acceptable to a conforming implementation.
