Section 2.  ENHANCEMENT AND DISCREPANCY INFORMATION (completed by Author of SEDS Report):

Author: Lothar Klein
Email Address: lothar.klein at lksoft.com
Part and Clause where Issue Originates: ISO 10303-11, clause 11.1
Other Parts Affected by the Issue: 
Related Issues:
Summary/Abstract/Keywords: USE FROM *all* on non-data-type items
Problem Description:
With a USE FROM *all* only all the data types get interfaced, but not
functions, procedures and constants. To get them in as well an
additional REFERENCE FROM *all* would be needed. Since USE FROM on a
data type takes precedence over a REFERENCE FROM this is not what
schema developer like to do.

Conditions Under Which the Issue Was Discovered:
Module development

Proposed Solution (Optional):
After this sentence
"If there are no named_types specified, all of the named data types
 declared within or use’d by the foreign schema are treated as if
 declared locally."
add

"In addition all of the following EXPRESS items declared within or
referenced by the foreign schema are made visible in the current
schema:
 - Constant;
 - Function;
 - Procedure."
