 Description
   The byte datatype is used to represent small numeric values.
   A byte data type variable may store uses only 8 bits (one byte) and can
   store any integer value from -128 to 127.

 Example
   #define EXAMPLE_DATATYPE
   #include example.hdr

   vardef
      byte bChar      := 'x'
      byte aNums[ 6 ] := -129, -128, -127, 0, 127, 128
   enddef
   
   proc Test_byte
   vardef
      byte n
   enddef
   ? bChar
   for n := 0 to 5
      ? aNums[ n ]
   next
   endproc

   proc main
   Test_byte()
   endproc
