Bob,

Thanks for posting this summary of the problem.

I read trough the attached file and I am not sure what
the reasons are for these inconsistencies.  In order to
make the right decisions, I feel we need to ask those
who wrote these portions of the AMI spec to find out
what was their intent.  Authors, please speak up...

Thanks,

Arpad

All:

This is being sent out per the issue raised at the Aug. 18
meeting concerning parser interpretation of the AMI Spec.

The ibischk5 parser with the -ami flag will check the
syntax of the <file name>.ami file.  The attached document
shows several forms for <parameter_name> that are in the
specification.  Some of the forms imply a restricted set of
parameters, but then this is contradicted by the example
at the end.

This implies that some parameters are really optional and
not excluded according to the syntaxes given.

The propposal is simply to make all parameters at least
optional, and some required according to a draft Table 4
that is NOT in the specification.

Do the choices in Table 4 look reasonable?

Bob
