BS ISO/IEC 10279:1991

What is ISO/IEC 10279 - Programming language Full BASIC about?

ISO/IEC 10279 specifies the programming language Full BASIC and is derived from the American National Standard X3.113-1987.

For details of the syntax and semantics see ANSI X3.113-1987 which specifies

• The syntax of programs written using individual character input, or modules, or both
• The semantic rules for interpreting the meaning of a BASIC program that uses individual character input, modules, or both
• Errors and exceptional circumstances to be detected and also the manner in which such errors and exceptional circumstances are to be handled

ISO/IEC 10279also refers to ECMA-116 for the specification of mini-graphics.

ISO/IEC 10279 specifies its own conformance subsets, which include those specified in ANSI X3.113-1987, ANSI X3.113A-1989, and ECMA-116.

ISO/IEC 10279 is designed to promote the interchangeability of BASIC programs among a variety of automatic data processing systems.

Note: ECMA-116 is based on ANSI X3.113-1987.

Who is ISO/IEC 10279 - Programming language Full BASIC for?

ISO/IEC 10279 on programming language Full BASIC is useful for:

• Information technology industry
• Software developers
• Software engineers
• Data processing system operators

Why should you use ISO/IEC 10279 - Programming language Full BASIC?

ISO/IEC 10279 is designed to promote the interchangeability of BASIC programs among a variety of automatic data processing systems that utilize the individual character input and module features.

ISO/IEC 10279 provides you with aspects of conformance, implementation conformance, the relationship of this amendment to ANSI and ECMA standards, and the mini graphics module to facilitate overall information and understanding needed for easier programming using Full BASICS.
