STORAGE CONSIDERATIONS
The following list shows how many bytes of storage are required for each data type
that can be in the work area:
Data Type Number
of Bytes Required
Character variable 22
Character array
Numeric variable
Numeric array
18 times
the number of elements plus 8
12
8 times the number
of elements plus 8
Because
the 5100 work area contains a fixed amount of storage, it is a good
practice
to conserve as much storage as possible.
