Mike, you don't process a mantissa field if the exponent value is NULL. Section 10.6.2: "If a scaled number is nullable, the exponent is nullable and the mantissa is non-nullable. A NULL scaled number is represented as a NULL exponent. The mantissa is present in the stream iff the exponent is not NULL." (This includes any pmap bit that would be present in the pmap as a result of an operator defined for the mantissa part. i.e., the pmap bit will be absent as well in the case of a null exponent. This is the only time you have a varying number of pmap bits for a field.) /Rolf > Rolf, > > My question in example 2 is basically: Do you NOT continue processing > the mantissa if after the result of processing the exponent, the > exponent's current value in the dicationary is set to EMPTY.
