|    Trailing comma    |

      Hello Kees,              On Wednesday July 30 2014 12:04, you wrote to me:               MvdV>> Got it, applied it to the R28 segment and it works as expected.        MvdV>> No trailing comma for 2:280/127.               MvdV>> Keep up the good work!               KE> Are you aware that implementing this option, will create difficulties        KE> for those who build their Nodelist from the previous list and a diff.              I don't see the problem. As far as diff processing is concerned, removing or       adding a comma is no different than any other change in the nodelist.               KE> It will only work if all convert to this option at the same time.              Why? I used to send R28 segments to Ward with a trailing comma at 280/127.       From now on I send an R28 segment to Ward without the trailing comma for       280/127. The latter is now processed by without Ward's ERRFLAGS flagging it a       s an error.              What will go wrong next Friday when the diff is processed?               KE> Blowing this problem away with: "there is no need to use diffs as the        KE> full list is small enough", is not a solution.              As I see it, there is no problem.                     Cheers, Michiel              --- GoldED+/W32-MSVC 1.1.5-b20130111        * Origin: http://www.vlist.eu (2:280/5555)    |
