Summary0003955: Text ""TTCN-3 supports value, template, timer and port parameterization” is misleading
Description"TTCN-3 supports value, template, timer and port parameterization”

This sentence seems to imply that the elements "value, template, timer, and port" may be parameterized.

However, what is actually meant is that these ‘elements’ can be used as actual/formal parameters to the elements identified in table 2.

This sentence should be changed so that the meaning is clear.

Otherwise one might be led to believe that there is a contradiction between the above sentence, and the NOTE in table 2, which states that port definitions do not allow parameterization.
Steps To Reproduce
Additional InformationSuggested correction:

Values, templates, timers, and ports may be used as actual and/or formal parameters where permitted by TTCN-3.
TagsNo tags attached.

To be changed to "TTCN-3 allows to parameterize modules, types, templates, functions, altsteps and testcases. Values, templates, timers, and ports may be used as actual parameters. A summary of which language elements can be parameterized and what can be passed to them as parameters is given in table 2."

The CR has relations to CR2590 - see there.

The proposed text in the previous note is fine for me.
I suggest to wait with closing the CR until CR403 on port type parameterization has been resolved. Depending on the resolution of CR403, the proposed text might have to be changed.

According to resolution of CR403 to be changed to

"TTCN-3 allows to parameterize modules, templates, functions, altsteps and testcases. Values, templates, timers, and ports may be used as actual parameters. A summary of which language elements can be parameterized and what can be passed to them as parameters is given in table 2.

NOTE: Type parameterization for TTCN-3 is defined in the optional package [xx]."

proposed solution (in note 7589) is ok.
