72.0. "data type matrix" by NANDI::TAYLOR () Wed Aug 28 1985 13:26
    The VAX/VMS V3 RTL Library Language Support Reference
    Manual contained the following two tables showing the
    VAX data types supported by BASIC, Fortran, Cobol, and
    PL/I.  These tables are no longer included in the V4
    documentation. I have been asked to obtain similar
    tables for the VAX languages. 
    Were these tables useful? 
    Can you fill in the tables for your favorite language?
    Thanks,
           mike

|  | 	Yes. I have used these. However I suspect that they are a 
lot more use to SWS than customers. If there is any reason for 
not putting them in a customer manual then I would like to see 
them appearing in Small Buffer at intervals.
