Tue 21 Feb 2006 06:37:09 AM UTC, original submission:  

I have some suggestions for the documentation in Appendix D Data File Format.  Hopefully putting them all in one bug is less annoying.

D.4 Value Label Variable Record, in the description of sysfile_value_label_variable.vars, please add:

 Each element identifies the a variable (type 2) record, where
 the first element is numbered 1.  Variable records that
 continue text variables (sysfile_variable.type == -1) are
 counted.


D.8 Auxilliary Variable Parameter Record, in the description of sysfile_aux_var_parameter.aux_params, please consider changing:

 The order of the elements corresponds to the order of
 the variables in the Variable Records.

to:

 The order of the elements corresponds to the order of the
 variables in the Variable Records, excluding those records
 that continue text variables (sysfile_variable.type == -1).


In "D.10 Miscellaneous Informational Records", the description says that all type 7 records are ignored, although some type 7 records are documented in sections above, and presumably not ignored.
