  Size attributes indicate the amount of storage  to  be  reserved
  for the object.

  1 - BIT

  The BIT attribute specifies the amount of storage in bits to  be
  received by the object.

  Syntax:

     BIT [[( n )]]

  The optional constant 'n' indicates the number  of  bit  storage
  units.   It  must denote a positive integer.  If you omit n, the
  default value is 1.

  See the  "Compaq  Pascal  Language  Reference  Manual"  for  the
  complete description of using the BIT attribute.

  2 - BYTE

  The BYTE attribute specifies the amount of storage in  bytes  to
  be received by the object.

  Syntax:

     BYTE [[( n )]]

  The optional constant 'n' indicates the number of  byte  storage
  units.  It must denote a positive integer.  If you omit 'n', the
  default value is 1.

  See the  "Compaq  Pascal  Language  Reference  Manual"  for  the
  complete description of using the BYTE attribute.

  3 - WORD

  The WORD attribute specifies the amount of storage in  words  to
  be received by the object.

  Syntax:

     WORD [[( n )]]

  The optional constant 'n' indicates the number of  word  storage
  units.   It  must denote a positive integer.  If you omit n, the
  default value is 1.

  See the  "Compaq  Pascal  Language  Reference  Manual"  for  the
  complete description of using the WORD attribute.

  4 - LONG

  The LONG attribute specifies the amount of storage in  longwords
  to be received by the object.

  Syntax:

     LONG [[( n )]]

  The optional constant  'n'  indicates  the  number  of  longword
  storage  units.  It must denote a positive integer.  If you omit
  'n', the default value is 1.

  See the  "Compaq  Pascal  Language  Reference  Manual"  for  the
  complete description of using the LONG attribute.

  5 - QUAD

  The QUAD attribute specifies the amount of storage in  quadwords
  to be received by the object.

  Syntax:

     QUAD [[( n )]]

  The optional constant  'n'  indicates  the  number  of  quadword
  storage  units.  It must denote a positive integer.  If you omit
  'n', the default value is 1.

  See the  "Compaq  Pascal  Language  Reference  Manual"  for  the
  complete description of using the QUAD attribute.

  6 - OCTA

  The OCTA attribute specifies the amount of storage in  octawords
  to be received by the object.

  Syntax:

     OCTA [[( n )]]

  The optional constant  'n'  indicates  the  number  of  octaword
  storage  units.  It must denote a positive integer.  If you omit
  'n', the default value is 1.

  See the  "Compaq  Pascal  Language  Reference  Manual"  for  the
  complete description of using the OCTA attribute.
