VMS Help PASCAL, Attributes, ENUMERATION_SIZE  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

  The  ENUMERATION_SIZE  attribute  controls  the  allocation   of
  unpacked enumerated data types and Boolean data types, which are
  considered to be an enumerated  type  containing  two  elements.
  Note that specifying this attribute overrides any value that you
  previously specified with the /ENUMERATION_SIZE qualifier.

  Syntax:

      [ENUMERATION_SIZE(keyword)]

  You can specify the following keywords:
