BIT

 The BIT attribute specifies the amount of storage in bits to  be
 received by the object.

 Syntax:

    BIT [[( n )]]

 The optional constant 'n' indicates the number  of  bit  storage
 units.   It  must denote a positive integer.  If you omit n, the
 default value is 1.

 See the "HP Pascal Language Reference Manual" for  the  complete
 description of using the BIT attribute.
