WITS Data Type Codes

IdentifierRep CodeDescription
A 65 Alphanumeric
L 73 32 bit 2's complement signed integer
S 79 16 bit 2's complement signed integer
F 128 32 bit IEEE single precision floating point

Examples of the format of representation codes 65,73 and 79 may be found
in the LIS handbook. Code 128 is an extension of LIS to enable the use of
the more widely accepted IEEE format.
