Description Michael Kay 2005-10-18 21:27:33 UTC 
The two tests CastFOCA0001-1 and CastFOCA0003-1 attempt to cause errors by using
literals that exceed the maximum size of an integer or decimal. On an
implementation (like Saxon) that supports large integers and decimals, no
failure will occur. The expected results are therefore wrong.
Comment 1 Carmelo Montanez 2005-10-21 19:08:08 UTC 
Mike:

Perhaps the best way to handle this is to have two possible scenarios.
one involving the error and the other actually capturing a value.

I will double check with the task force as I think we talked about this 
scenario, but not sure what the resolution was.
Comment 2 Michael Kay 2005-10-21 19:38:32 UTC 
Yes, I agree, it's probably best to handle it with two alternative outcomes. (My
test driver isn't very good at those, but that's my problem...)
Comment 3 Carmelo Montanez 2005-10-31 20:24:14 UTC 
Fixed results.  Added alternate expected results for implmentations capable or 
handling the big numbers.  Test now may have two outcomes, either raise an 
error or processing of big number.  Please close the bug if you agree.

Thanks,
Carmelo Montanez
