Create a machine type

You can only create a machine type by using a specification file.

Use the syntax shown in Specification-file conventions to create a machine type.

Use the following syntax to create a machine object by using a specification file: 
BEGIN OBJECT MACHINE machinename 
# Compulsory Attributes 
BYTEORDER machinetype_byteorder 
SHORTSIZE shortinteger_bytes 
INTEGERSIZE integer_bytes 
LONGSIZE longinteger_bytes 
FLOATSIZE float_bytes 
DOUBLESIZE double_bytes 

END OBJECT
The following table lists the attributes and their values.
Attribute Attribute value
double_bytes Double integer size
float_bytes Float size
integer_bytes Integer size
machinename Machine name
longinteger_bytes Long integer size
machinetype_byteorder Computer byte-order type

Enter MSB for most-significant bit or LSB for least-significant bit.

shortinteger_bytes Short integer size
