GPP2 Variable Formats
Each GPP2 variable has a format, which defines how it is formatted for output if needed in the machine code. These formats are described in detail in the GPP2 Language Reference Manual.
System variables have a default format (which can be overridden in the EX2 program). This default format is listed for each block variable listed below. The formats are shown as numbers, from 0 to 18, according to the following table:
|
Format Name |

Notes:
-
All formats represent double-precision floating point numeric numbers, except format CHARACTER (0), which represents a string (up to 256 characters).
-
The COORDINATE format (1) has a special meaning in GPP2. Every system variable of that format is multiplied by the unit factor, as defined in the DF2 file.
-
In GPP2, the FEED format (3) is also multiplied by the unit factor, as defined in the DF2 file.
