Table 3	Data Type Conventions
Data Type	Definition	Example
Integer	A series of decimal digits from the set of 0 through 9 that	123
	represents a positive integer. An integer can have one or	000123
	more leading zero digits (0) added to the left side to align	4200000000
	the columns. Leading zeros are always valid as long as
	the number of digits is less than or equal to ten. Values of
	this type have a range of 0 through 4294967295.
Signed	This data type has the same basic format as the integer	123
integer	but can be either positive or negative. When negative, it	–000123
	is preceded by the sign character (–). As with the integer	–2100000000l
	data type, this data type can be as many as ten digits in
	length, not including the sign character. The value of this
	type has a range of –2147483647 through 2147483647.
Hexadecimal	A series of 16-based digits from the set of 0 through 9, a	1f3
	through f, or A through F. The hexadecimal number can	01f3000
	have one or more leading zeros (0) added to the left side.
	For all hexadecimal values, the maximum size is
	0xffffffff (eight hexadecimal digits).
Text	A series of alphanumeric characters from the ASCII	EntityID
	character set, where defined. Tab, space, and double	LineSES_Threshold999
	quote (“ ”) characters cannot be used. Text can be as many
	as 255 characters; however, it is recommended that you
	limit the text to no more than 32 characters for
	readability.
String	A series of alphanumeric characters and white-space	“This is a descriptive
	characters. A string is surrounded by double quotes (“ ”).	string.”
	Strings can be as many as 255 characters; however, it is
	recommended that you limit the strings to no more than
	80 characters for readability.

Note Hexadecimal and integer fields in files can have different widths (number of characters) for column alignment.
