BASIC Data Types and Corresponding Ingres Type
EQUEL accepts the BASIC record type in variable declarations, providing the record has already been declared to EQUEL.
The following data types are illegal and will cause declaration errors:
gfloat
hfloat
Neither the preprocessor nor the runtime support routines support gfloat or hfloat floating-point arithmetic. You should not compile the BASIC source code with the command line qualifiers gfloat or hfloat if you intend to pass those floating-point values to or from Ingres objects.
