Superseded by: X11/1996-4, ANSI/MDC X11.1-1995

Submitted: 1985
Description:
Proposal for a $GET function. In cases where the old contents of a variable, if present, must be used for some updating purpose and it may not be certain whether this variable already has a defined value, the $GET function may be helpful to avoid the effort of checking and initializing the relevant variable.

Submitted: 1985
Description:
Reverse string operator (~). In some circumstances it is necessary to scan a string of characters from right to left instead of from left to right. For such purposes an operator is desirable that would reverse the order of the characters in a string. Voted down because operator symbol was not available on many keyboards.

F[or] Command

Discussed in: SC1 Language Specification
Superseded by: X11/1990-7, ANSI/MDC X11.1-1990 Draft
Superseded by: X11/1996-4, ANSI/MDC X11.1-1995

Submitted: 1985
Description:
Argumentless FOR command. In many cases the mechanism of a FOR-loop is used in order to cause a series of actions to be repeated, while the criterium to exit from the loop is not discerned in terms of a FOR-argument, but depends upon the results of the operations performed in the body of that FOR-loop.

U[se] Command

Discussed in: SC1 Language Specification
Superseded by: X11/1990-7, ANSI/MDC X11.1-1990 Draft
Superseded by: X11/1996-4, ANSI/MDC X11.1-1995

Submitted: 1985
Description:
Meaning of argument value 0 (zero) for USE-command. Many implementations of MUMPS know the concept of a 'principle device' or an 'initial device', i.e. the device that is 'current device' at the moment that a MUMPS-job starts. The meaning of this proposal is to introduce the concept of 'principle device' into the ANSI-standard and to standardize the way of reverting to the 'principle device'.
