Data Literal Evaluation

Describes how data literals will be evaluated into values of particular datatypes based on the expression context.

Data literal evaluation is the process converting a data literal to a particular value of a particular data type. This data type must match the type of the expression where the literal is located. Expressions will be reviewed in the next chapter. Now let's look at some of the data literal evaluation rules for each type of data literals.

1. Character String Literals can be evaluated character strings, exact numbers, approximate numbers and data and time values. The evaluation rules are:

2. Hex String Literals can be evaluated to character strings and exact numbers. The evaluation rules are:

3. Numeric Literals can be evaluated to exact numbers and approximate numbers. The evaluation rules are:
