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.
