Proposed and defeated

Submitted: 1989
Description:
Present coding of many string extractions is often done using an inexact presumptuous technique. This has caused standard MUMPS code not to be portable between certain implementations.

OCT 92: referred to SC13/TG3. JUNE 94: referred to SC13/TG2. JAN 95: was not approved as a type C proposal by TG2.
