Table E-5 HP Pascal Equivalents of SORT-MERGE/XL Data Types

SORT-MERGE/XL Data Type HP Pascal Equivalent
0byte (character)CHAR
1twos complement (integer):
2-byte (short integer)SHORTINT
4-byte (integer)INTEGER
2HP 3000 floating point:
4-byte (real)REAL
8-byte (double precision)LONGREAL
3IEEE standard floating point:
4-byte (real)REAL
8-byte (double precision)LONGREAL
10characterCHAR

Floating point data may be stored in HP 3000 or IEEE Standard format:

  • IEEE Standard is the default format for floating point data in MPE XL NM (Native Mode).

  • HP 3000 is the default format for floating point data in MPE XL CM (Compatibility Mode) or on an MPE V-based system. HP 3000 format may also be created in NM by explicit specification.
