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.
