FLOAT, REAL, DOUBLE, BFLOAT4 and BFLOAT8
FLOAT
The FLOAT data type is consistent with the IEEE standard for single and double-precision real numbers.
REAL
The REAL data type is defined as a 4-byte FLOAT.
DOUBLE
The DOUBLE data type is defined as a 8-byte FLOAT.
BFLOAT4
The BFLOAT4 data type is a single precision real number.
The BFLOAT4 type is commonly used in legacy BASIC applications. Microsoft refers to this data type as MBF (Microsoft Binary Format), and no longer supports this type in the Visual Basic environment. Pervasive Software recommends to use the REAL data type instead of BFLOAT4.
BFLOAT8
The BFLOAT8 data type is a double precision real number.
The BFLOAT8 type is commonly used in legacy BASIC applications. Microsoft refers to this data type as MBF (Microsoft Binary Format), and no longer supports this type in the Visual Basic environment. Pervasive Software recommends to use the DOUBLE data type instead of BFLOAT4.
