Section :  4.2.4

Comment :  The section of the requirement in item (d), "Operator intervention or logic that evaluates received or stored data shall not re-direct program control within a program routine." is a carry over from the VSS 2002 standards and is considered non-sequitor.  Rather obviously, operator intervention (like pressing a button on a screen) will re-direct program control.  If there is some other intent behind this requirement, it should be clarified, otherwise, it should be removed.

Proposed change:  Remove the first sentence from the requirement.
