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.
