- State:
- CLOSED
- Product:
- DTB
- Raised by:
- Gary Hallmark
- Opened on:

- Description:
- in DTB, to compare 2 numbers N1 and N2:
numeric-less-than(N1 N2)
but 2 compare 2 strings S1 and S2:
numeric-less-than(compare(S1 S2) 0)
This is inconsistent. We should use one or the other or both styles for all comparable datatypes: numeric, datetime, string - Related Actions Items:

Related notes:
At the 12/23 telecon we agreed that this issue is just about simplifying the presentation syntax, so that e.g. a "=" could be used in the PS for equality, and would then correspond to a single predicate.
So we will postpone discussion of the issue until the PS is fixed.
At the 7-April-2009 telecon, the WG resolved to close this issue by *not having* these special string predicates, and to drop them from the draft DTB going to LC.
