When using the ISAM file-handling feature of Microsoft BASIC
Professional Development System (PDS) Version 7.00 for MS-DOS, you
cannot use a single-precision variable in the TYPE ... END TYPE record
structure. To store real numbers (numbers with a decimal point), you
must use a CURRENCY or a double-precision variable. (You may also use
an INTEGER and a LONG integer if you do not need a number with a
decimal point.)
This is not a software problem, but is a design limitation of BASIC
PDS 7.00.
