Chapter 10 289
BYTE (extension)
Declares entities of type integer.
Syntax
BYTE [[, attrib-list ] ::] entity-list
attrib-list is a comma-separated list of one or more of the following attributes:
If attrib-list is present, it must be followed by the double colon. For
information about individual attributes, see the corresponding statement in
this chapter.
entity-list is a list of entities, separated by commas. Each entity takes the form:
name [( array-spec )] [= initialization-expr ]
where:
name
is the name of a variable or function
array-spec
is a comma-separated list of dimension bounds
initialization-expr
is a integer constant integer expression. If initialization-expr is
present, entity-list must be preceded by the double colon.
Description
The BYTE statement is an HP extension that is used to declare the properties of entities. The
entities can take values that are whole numbers and can be represented in one byte. It is
equivalent to the INTEGER(KIND=1) statement.
