b type-information ; bytesThis use of the ‘b’ type descriptor can be distinguished
from its use for builtin integral types (see Builtin Type Descriptors) because the character following the type descriptor is
always a digit, ‘(’, or ‘-’.
B type-informationd type-informationk type-informationM type-information ; lengthcharacter*3 is
represented by ‘M-2;3’, where ‘-2’ is a reference to a
character type (see Negative Type Numbers). I'm not sure how this
differs from an array. This appears to be a Fortran feature.
length is a bound, like those in range types; see Subranges.
S type-informationIn CHILL, if it is a bitstring instead of a set, also use the ‘S’
type attribute (see String Field).
