[OASIS Issue Tracker] (ODATA-747) Allow IEEE 754 constants [-]INF and NaN also for Edm.Decimal
[ https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/ODATA-747?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Michael Pizzo updated ODATA-747:
--------------------------------

    Proposal: 
Modify the related ABNF construction rules to allow nanInfinity also for decimalValue:

decimalValue = [SIGN] 1*DIGIT ["." 1*DIGIT] / nanInfinity

doubleValue = decimalValue [ "e" [SIGN] 1*DIGIT ] ; IEEE 754 binary64 floating-point number (15-17 decimal digits)
singleValue = doubleValue                         ; IEEE 754 binary32 floating-point number (6-9 decimal digits)
nanInfinity = 'NaN' / '-INF' / 'INF'

> Just as for IEEE 754 floating-point numbers, calculations of Edm.Decimal values also can lead to results that can only be represented by constants for "Not a Number" or "(negative) Infinity".
