26、ization. National bodies that are members of IS0 or IEC participate in the development of Intemational Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. IS0 and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mut
27、ual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-govemmental, in liaison with IS0 and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information technology, IS0 and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISOIIEC JTC 1. Draft Intemational Standards adopted by the joi
28、nt technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an Intemational Standard requires approval by at least 75% of the national bodies casting a vote. Intemational Standard ISO/IEC 1 1756 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISOIIEC JTC 1, Infomation technology, S
29、ubcommittee 22, Programming languages, their environments and system soware interfaces. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISOIIEC 11756:1992), which has been technically revised. Annex A forms an integral part of this International Standard. Annexes B to H are for informati
30、on only. vi - STD*BSI BS ISO/IEC 1175b-ENGL 1777 M lb24bb7 OBL32LL bbT BS ISO/IEC 11756:1999 Introduction Section 1 consists of nine clauses that describe the MUMPS language. Clause 1 describes the metalanguage used in the remainder of Section 1 for the static syntax. The remaining clauses describe
31、the static syntax and overall semantics of the language. The distinction between “static“ and “dynamic“ syntax is as follows. The static syntax describes the sequence of characters in a routine as it appears on a tape in routine interchange or on a listing. The dynamic syntax describes the sequence
32、of characters that would be encountered by an interpreter during execution of the routine. (There is no requirement that MUMPS actually be interpreted). The dynamic syntax takes into account transfers of control and values produced by indirection. Clauses 10 through 21 highlight, for the benefit of
33、implementors and application programmers, aspects of the language that must be accorded special attention if M program transferability (.e., portability of source code between various M implementa- tions) is to be achieved. It provides a specification of limits that must be observed by both implemen
34、tors and programmers if portability is not to be ruled out. To this end, irnplementors must meet or exceed these limits, treating them as a minimum requirement. Any implementor who provides definitions in currently undefined areas must take into account that this action risks jeopardizing the upward
35、 compatibility of the implementation, upon subsequent revision of the M Language Specification. Application programmers striving to develop portable programs must take into account the danger of employing “unilateral extensions“ to the language made available by the implementor. The following defini
36、tions apply to the use of the terms explici limit and implicit limit within this document. An explicit limit is one which applies directly to a referenced language construct, Implicit limits on language constructs are second-order effects resulting from explicit limits on other language constructs.
37、For example, the explicit command line length restriction places an implicit limit on the length of any construct which must be expressed entirely within a single command line. Clauses 22 through 24 describe the binding between M and ANSI X3.64. ANSI X3.64 is a functional standard for additional con
38、trol functions for data interchange with two- dimensional character-imaging input andlor output devices. It is an ANSI standard, but also an IS0 standard with roughly similar characteristics exists (IS0 2022). As such, it has been implemented in many devices worldwide. It is expected that M can be e
39、asily adapted to these implementations. The standard defined as ANSI X3.64 defines a format for device-control. No physical device is required to be able to perform all possible control-functions. In reality, as some functions rely on certain physical properties of specific devices, no device will b
40、e able to perform all functions. The standard, however, does not specify which functions a device should be able to do, but if it is able to perform a function, how the control-information for this function is to be specified. This binding is to the functional definitions included in X3.64. The actu
41、al dialogue between the M implementation and the device is left to the implementor. Information technology- Programming languages - M 1.

All standards are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this International Standard are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most
