Floating point data may be stored in HP 3000 or IEEE Standard format:
* IEEE Standard is the default format for floating point data in MPE XL
NM (Native Mode).
* HP 3000 is the default format for floating point data in MPE XL CM
(Compatibility Mode) or on an MPE V-based system. HP 3000 format may
also be created in NM by explicit specification.
