8) DATE (date)
The DATE data type handles date (year, month, day) data. A DATE occupies 32 memory bits and can represent date data from
the calendar years 1970 to 2106.
9) TOD (time of day)
The TOD data type handles time of day (hour, minute, second) data. A TOD occupies 32 memory bits and can represent time
data from 0:00:00 to 23:59:59. The data type of TIME_OF_DAY is the same as that of DT.
10) DT (date and time of day)
The DT data type handles date and time (year, month, day, hour, minute, second) data. A TOD occupies 32 memory bits and
can represent date and time data from the calendar years 1970 to 2106. The data type of TIME_AND_DAY is the same as that
of DT.
<Examples for DATE, TOD, and DATA:>
11) WORD (bit string of length 16)
A WORD has a size equal to 16 BOOLs (16 bits), each of which represents the ON or OFF state or 1 or 0.
12) DWORD (bit string of length 32)
A WORD has a size equal to 32 BOOLs (32 bits), each of which represents the ON or OFF state or 1 or 0.
