Re: [ANN] Lua 5.2.2 (rc3) now available

[ingelger@...]

on IBM's z/OS (v1r11 in "Unix System Services" environment) OK but 2 remarks :

1 - binary ops (bit32) won't work (well they give results, but illogical ones). bit32 ops demand IEE representation for LUA_NUMBER (which is not the default for z/OS) :    should be specified in bit32 module documentation.

2 - io.open() is less permissive in 5.2 than 5.1 so we can't open z/OS native files ("DataSets"). These "DataSets" generally require extra spec. in 'mode' parm., ex:
      local output = io.open( "//'my.local.dataset'", "wb,type=record,lrec=133,recfm=fba" : 

Voilà !
