For example, PRINT 10, (1.0, 2.0) will be written as (1,0,2,0) While this output is unambiguous, it is likely to prove confusing nonetheless. J3 has ruled in the past that no blanks are allowed in such cases. I submit that (1,0, 2,0) would be easier to read. I suggest that J3 allow blanks after commas when DECIMAL='COMMA' is in effect.
