I've been reading the ISO 8802-2 Logical Link Control standard and I'm
having a problem understanding the use of the P_FLAG.

Table 7-1 (Connection Component State Transitions) on page 97, Current
state ADM, Event RECEIVE_SABME_CMD(P=X) includes the action P_FLAG:=P.

I assumed that this was so that the UA_RSP sent (if the network layer
accepts the call) could have the F bit set appropriately. However in
state CONN, event CONNECT_RESPONSE, F_FLAG is used to determine the
value of the F bit (action SEND_UA_RSP(F=F_FLAG)).  As far as I can
see the F_FLAG hasn't been set yet.

Is this a misprint or have I missed something. If it is a misprint
which is wrong?
