Minimum Data Values

Constants with names of the form VAL__MIN$<$T$>$ represent the minimum (most negative) non-bad values which can be represented on the machine. The data types of these constants match the quantities they describe, as follows:

Constant	Type	Value	Hexadecimal Pattern
VAL__MINUB	_UBYTE	0	00
VAL__MINB	_BYTE	$-$127	81
VAL__MINUW	_UWORD	0	0000
VAL__MINW	_WORD	$-$32767	8001
VAL__MINI	_INTEGER	$-$2147483647	80000001
VAL__MINR	_REAL	$-$1.7014117E$+$38	FFFEFFFF
VAL__MIND	_DOUBLE	$-$1.701411834604923D$+$38	FFFEFFFFFFFFFFFF

Constants with names of the form NUM__MIN$<$T$>$ represent the minimum (most negative) numbers which can be represented on the machine. The data types of these constants also match the quantities they describe, as follows:

Constant	Type	Value	Hexadecimal Pattern
NUM__MINUB	_UBYTE	0	00
NUM__MINB	_BYTE	$-$128	80
NUM__MINUW	_UWORD	0	0000
NUM__MINW	_WORD	$-$32768	8000
NUM__MINI	_INTEGER	$-$2147483648	80000000
NUM__MINR	_REAL	$-$1.7014117E$+$38	FFFFFFFF
NUM__MIND	_DOUBLE	$-$1.701411834604923D$+$38	FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
