CAN/CSA-ISO/IEC 9496-97 (R2001)

The international community has decided to make this standard available only in the English language version. It has been adopted as a National Standard of Canada on this basis. This National Standard of Canada is equivalent to International Standard ISO/IEC 9496:1995 and ITU-T Rec. Z.200. 1 INTRODUCTION This recommendation defines the CCITT high level programming language CHILL. CHILL stands for CCITT High Level Language. The following sub-sections in this chapter introduce some of the motivations behind the language design and provide an overview of the language features. For information concerning the variety of introductory and training material on this subject, the reader is referred to the CCITT Manuals, "Introduction to CHILL" and "CHILL user's manual". An alternative definition of CHILL, in a strict mathematical form (based on the VDM notation), is available in the CCITT Manual entitled "Formal definition of CHILL".
