6-3-5 Data Types
There are two kinds of data types: basic data types, which have predefined specifications, and deriva-
tive data types, which are defined according to user specifications.
 Basic Data Types
The different kinds of basic data types are listed below.
There are a total of twenty different basic data types. The specifications are given in the following
table.
The meanings of the data size and alignment columns in the following table are as follows:
• Data size: The actual size of the value.
• Alignment: The unit used to allocate memory.
Basic Data Types and Derivative Data Types
Classification Definition
Boolean A data type with a value of either TRUE or FALSE.
Bit string A data type that represents a value as a bit string.
Integer A data type that represents an integer value.
Real number A data type that represents a real number.
Duration
A data type that represents a time duration (days, hours, minutes, seconds, and
milliseconds).
Time of day A data type that represents a specific time of day (hour, minutes, and seconds).
Date A data type that represents a date (year, month, and day).
Date and time
A data type that represents a date and time (year, month, day, hour, minutes,
seconds, and milliseconds).
Text string A data type that contains a value that represents a text string.
