Abstract

This International Standard specifies the semantics and syntax of the computer programming language Pascal by specifying requirements for a processor and for a conforming program. Two levels of compliance are defined for both processors and programs. <br>This International Standard does not specify <br>a) the size or complexity of a program and its data that will exceed the capacity of any specific data processing system or the capacity of a particular processor, nor the actions to be taken when the corresponding limits are exceeded; <br>b) the minimal requirements of a data processing system that is capable of supporting an implementation of a processor for Pascal; <br>c) the method of activating the program-block or the set of commands used to control the environment in which a Pascal program is transformed and executed; system; <br>d) the mechanism by which programs written in Pascal are transformed for use by a data processing <br>e) the method for reporting errors or warnings; <br>f) the typographical representation of a program published for human reading.
