Annex F (normative)

Abstract

This Annex provides a set of facilities relevant to Information Systems programming. These fall into several categories:

• an attribute definition clause specifying Machine_Radix for a decimal subtype;

• the package Decimal, which declares a set of constants defining the implementation’s capacity for decimal types, and a generic procedure for decimal division; and

• the child packages Text_IO.Editing and Wide_Text_IO.Editing, which support formatted and localized output of decimal data, based on “picture String” values.
