Word (Double Byte)

The Word data type is an ordinal integer type, capable of holding positive values starting at zero (0), and up to 65535 only.

It occupies 16 bits of storage - or 2 bytes.

There are some functions such as YearOf where a Word data type is returned.

Declaration: var myvariable : word;

Numbers higher than 65535 will start back at zero (0) at every 65536 - as per the following example.

procedure ScriptEvent (var Value : variant);
var
  min, max : word;
begin
  LogInfo('');
 // Set the minimum and maximum values of this data type
  min := 0;
  LogInfo('Min word value = '+IntToStr(min));
  LogInfo('');
  max := 65534;
  LogInfo('Max word value = '+IntToStr(max));     //Result is 65534
  max := 65535;
  LogInfo('Max word value = '+IntToStr(max));     //Result is 65535
  max := 65536;
  LogInfo('Max word value = '+IntToStr(max));     //Result is zero (0)
  max := 70000;
  LogInfo('Max word value = '+IntToStr(max));     //Result is 4464 (70,000 - 65536)
  LogInfo('');

end;
