Purpose:

Macro. Provides an argument for functions specifying 8-bit (1-byte) signed byte data type.

Syntax:

SBYTE

INT8

Expansion:

1

Example:

writeb("MYFILE",SBYTE)

 

writes the series in the current Window to a file named MYFILE as 8-bit signed byte point values ranging from -128 to +127. The above example is equivalent to writeb("MYFILE",1).

Example:

writeb("MYFILE",INT8)

 

writes the series in the current Window to a file named MYFILE as 8-bit signed byte point values ranging from -128 to +127. The above example is equivalent to writeb("MYFILE",1).

Remarks:

SBYTE and INT8 are not a stand-alone Worksheet function. They can only act as an argument for functions, such as READB, WRITEB and other functions with data type arguments.
