Specifies syntax and semantics. Defines what is required of implementations and programs in order to comply.

This British Standard specifies the semantics and syntax of the computer programming language RTL/2 by specifying requirements for a compiler and for a conforming program.

NOTE The specification requirements have been drafted so that all features of RTL/2 are either explicity defined, or explicity stated to have been left intentionally undefined.

Appendix A contains information regarding input/output. Appendix B contains information on error recovery. Appendix C makes a recommendation on compiler limits.
