Mike A couple of comments 1. On the last WG call Steve H suggested allowing lengthUnit='bits' for any logical type as long as the length was a multiple of 8. Did you decide against that? 2 Bits within Bit Strings of Length < 8 The formula should be 2^(M - Z) not 2^(8-Z) Alan Powell MP 211, IBM UK Labs, Hursley, Winchester, SO21 2JN, England Notes Id: Alan Powell/UK/IBM email: alan_powell@uk.ibm.com Tel: +44 (0)1962 815073 Fax: +44 (0)1962 816898 From: Mike Beckerle <mbeckerle.dfdl@gmail.com> To: dfdl-wg@ogf.org Date: 23/12/2009 18:36 Subject: [DFDL-WG] DFDL bits - version 3 Attached is revised per today's WG call. -- dfdl-wg mailing list dfdl-wg@ogf.org http://www.ogf.org/mailman/listinfo/dfdl-wg #### DFDL Bits-bigEndian-bias.doc moved to MyAttachments Repository V3.8 ( ) on 04 January 2010 by Alan Powell. #### DFDL Bits-bigEndian-bias.doc has been re-attached on 05 January 2010 by Alan Powell [attachment "DFDL Bits-bigEndian-bias.doc" deleted by Alan Powell/UK/IBM] Unless stated otherwise above: IBM United Kingdom Limited - Registered in England and Wales with number 741598.
