| Data Formats All Midas frameworks support a basic set of numeric and ASCII formats. These formats include simple numeric values and strings. These same formats are used in Midas Blue Files. Numeric formats are specified using a two-character digraph. The first character is the mode. The second character is the type. Note: Although numeric formats are specified using mode and then type, they are easier to understand if explained in the reverse order. We will follow this approach the next few pages.
