Hi there,
> But there is no definition for scalar type.
I asked Prof. Wirth more details about the term scalar type used in the Oberon Report. He replied with:
>> The word "scalar" means "on a scale". It is not a specific technical term.
>> As for Oberon, it is actually synonymous with basic, or with "not
>> structured".
>> Both unstructured and structured variables are supposd to be exported as "read-only".
He also sent me a more recent report with the correct sentence, it is now:
>> Variables are always exported in read-only mode.
This is the reason structured variables are exported in the new Oberon book.
> Thanks, Alexey.
