Few Data Types Explored
=========================

1. TOD - String Time-of-day attribute (This is an internal MF format. It's the value returned by the TIME macro) (http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v2r1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.zsecure.doc/ckrbzz1902.html)


2. PACKED - Date Field (PACKED is a MF format -- basically, it's a number, but rather than being stored in binary, it's stored in a format where each nibble is one digit and the last nibble denotes the sign.

Example: x''01234C' would be 1234 (positive)) http://webster.cs.ucr.edu/AoA/Windows/HTML/DataRepresentationa7.html


3. HEX - String (hexidecimal data)

4. TIMEBIN - String (TIMEBIN is a fullword; that's 4 bytes and it's the number of .01 secs since midnight.)

5. CHEN - CHEN is character (but encrypted)
