Length modifiers

Edit online
Length modifiers can be:
  • Byte-length modifiers — where the value of the modifier determines the number of bytes of storage allocated to a constant.
  • Bit-length modifiers — where the value of the modifier determines the number of bits of storage allocated to a constant.

When no length is specified, for character and graphic constants (C and G), hexadecimal constants (X), binary constants (B), and decimal constants (P and Z), the whole constant is assembled into its implicit length.
