ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG5 N1516 National Activity Report of Japan for the WG5 meeting in Las Vegas TAKATA Masayuki, 30 March 2003 Japan voted "yes with comments" for the CD ballot. All the comments are either typographical, editorial or very minor technical. The rest of this report is the same as the privious one, just for information for interested people. SC22/Fortran WG of ITSCJ (Information Technology Standards Commission of Japan) currently has 8(co.jp)+3(ac.jp) members. Its meetings are held monthly, for 3 hours each time, in Tokyo. Japan has the following fully-translated national standards. JIS X 3001-1:1998 = ISO/IEC 1539-1:1997 + Technical Corrigendum 1 JIS X 3001-2:2002 = ISO/IEC 1539-2:2000 JIS X 3001-3:2000 = ISO/IEC 1539-3:1999 The two Fortran-related TRs are not translated into Japanese. Those TRs and the Technical Corrigendum 2 have been well announced in the vendors' community, and have enough virtual influence. However, TC2 is not planned to be published in Japan, in any form that legally affects the technical content of JIS X 3001-1:1998. We haven't had appropriate ways to do that soon at an allowable cost.
