TYPE Clause
In the preceding examples, note that a simple variable of type BIT_1_DEF has a
different size from the field BITS_0 in a variable of the record type BIT_STRUCT_DEF.
Bit Field Output for TACL. The following examples show how DDL translates
definitions and descriptions of bit fields into TACL source code:
