You can only create a machine type by using a specification file.
Use the syntax shown in Specification-File Conventions to create a machine type.
Use the following syntax to create a machine object by using a specification file:
BEGIN OBJECT MACHINE machinename # Compulsory Attributes BYTEORDER machinetype_byteorder SHORTSIZE shortinteger_bytes INTEGERSIZE integer_bytes LONGSIZE longinteger_bytes FLOATSIZE float_bytes DOUBLESIZE double_bytes END OBJECT
The following table lists the attributes and their values.
| Attribute | Attribute Value |
|---|---|
| double_bytes | Double integer size |
| float_bytes | Float size |
| integer_bytes | Integer size |
| machinename | Machine name |
| longinteger_bytes | Long integer size |
| machinetype_byteorder | Computer byte-order type
Enter MSB for most-significant bit or LSB for least-significant bit. |
| shortinteger_bytes | Short integer size |
