Types of Integer and Long Integer cannot support decimal places so the data type must be changed. MPE Data Types Use the Image data Type and Length when defining the type used in Image, KSAM, or MPE fields. This reference chart can be used to determine the appropriate type from your existing source code. The bytes reference will guide you in determining the width of each item so that the offset for the next item can be found. Character types will be Mask-based either with or without a seperator.
Numeric types can be mask or value based.
If the 'M' character is not used in the date field, the 'D' character is used as a Julian date. The Schema Editor is used to create and edit Schema Editor Files. Schema Editor Files are stored on the HP 3000 and contain descriptions of TurboImage databases, KSAM files, and MPE files. Adding a new item requires a Schema Editor. Some items are composed of a number of sub-elements.
