Hi Everyone,



I'm reading version 3.3.2 of the Core Notation, ES 201-873-1.




Port Parameterization




Page 22, section 5.4 states:



"TTCN-3 supports value, template, timer and port parameterization"



This sentence seems to imply that these 'elements' can be parameterized.
However, what is meant, I believe, is that these 'elements' can be used as
actual/formal parameters to the elements identified (Keyword column) in table 2.
This sentence should be changed so that the meaning is clear.



Otherwise one might be led to believe that there is a contradiction between the
above sentence, and the NOTE in table 2, which states that port definitions do
not allow parameterization.



Or am I just nit-picking?



Comments anyone?



Cheers,



Claude.

Hello Claude,

careful reading of the standard with the intention to improve it is = always
welcome. In this specific case I think there is no need for a = change. There
might be room for improvement, but I think it's clear = enough that neither
values, timers, nor ports have parameters = themselves. (This is my personal
opinion, I am not speaking for the = other members of STF349).

But please, continue reading and raise CRs if you find problematic = areas.

Best regards

Thomas

Hi Claude,

I also think the sentence could be more precise. I propose you drop a CR at t-ort.etsi.org/main_page.php, otherwise no chance to change the sentence.

BR, Gyorgy
