Elementary Types

You can specify a length for data types P, N, C and X. You enter this in parenthesis following the data type name.

• If there is no length specified, the standard length for the data type applies.
   
• For data type P you can specify the number of decimal places (up to a maximum of 14) using the DECIMALS addition.
   
• If you do not specify a data type, the default type C will apply to the field.
