MWAPI - Attribute Value Domains

Draft MDC Standard

3.3 Attribute Value Domains
3.3.1 Length of Character Strings

When the MWAPI is present, the portability requirement in Section 2 of the MUMPS Standard is modified such that any result, whether intermediate or final, of expression evaluation whose length does not exceed the portability limit for longchars, and which would otherwise be permitted, is permitted. This does not permit assignment of a value to an ssvn node whose domain is not longchars, to an lvn, or to a gvn where such assignment would not be permitted by the MUMPS Standard. This also does not permit use of a value as a subscript, as an actuallist parameter, or as an xargument where such use would not be permitted by the MUMPS Standard.
