[OASIS Issues Tracker <workgroup_mailer@lists.oasis-open.org>]

    [ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-2448?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=18140#action_18140 ] 

Michael Brauer commented on OFFICE-2448:
----------------------------------------

In CD01 the sentences have been deleted. It this what we want? My understanding is that we want to discourage the use of these functions. We can do so by:

- Just saying "FINDB is deprecated." (without providing a reason)
- Adding a note like: Note: The result of this function is implementation specific because it depends on the evaluator's internal character encoding.

Both does work for me.

> All of these functions have a sentence:
> **** "is deprecated because it is non-portable as it uses the system's code page."
> Ahem, deprecated is used to mean that a feature or function may go away in a future release. It does not mean "don't use because non-portable." 
> Rather than enter separate issues for all 7 functions I have simply marked all of them for deletion.
