If the input TYPE is one of the HDS primitive numeric data types, i.e. one of _REAL, _DOUBLE, _INTEGER, _INT64, _WORD, _UWORD, _BYTE or _UBYTE, then the number of bytes used by that data type is returned as NBYTES. The values are those stored as the symbolic constants VAL__NBx in the PRM_PAR include file. (See SUN/39.) If the TYPE is not one of the above, an error results and STATUS is set.

CALL KPG_TYPSZ( TYPE, NBYTES, STATUS )

TYPE = CHARACTER $\ast$ ( $\ast$ ) (Given)

NBYTES = INTEGER (Returned)

STATUS = INTEGER (Given and Returned)
