RE: Prototype for a command parameter.

Scot,

Actually, you can define a 2B 0 field; it simply restricts the range
of values that are valid in the field to -99 through 99. Never tried
it though and I bet that nine times out of ten  when it is used, it is
a
mistake.

There is no "2B 0".   If you mean "4B 0" (which is 2 bytes long, but 4
digits) then yes, they are very close to the same thing, except that
the
"B" data type arbitrarily chops the number off at 4 decimal digits,
while
the "I" data type allows the full 16 binary digits.
