In “REWIND”, specified that when $PRINCIPAL identifies a device that supports REWIND, the REWIND or INREWIND device parameters perform a REWIND of the input and OUTREWIND performs a REWIND of the output.

In “DESTROY”, added the behavior of a sequential disk device CLOSEd with the NODESTROY.

In “READ/WRITE Operations”, specified that WRITE works at the current file position, whether attained with APPEND, REWIND or SEEK.

In “TRUNCATE”, specified that the TRUNCATE device parameter on a USE $PRINCIPAL command works on a stdout device when the device supports the action.
