N  |=======================|
  1. Data type
    2.  Note that the high bit is always set on this variable! i.e. you must add 80h to the normal character type.
    Example: Character (C) should read: "C" + high bit: 43h + 80h = C3h
    Byte value Description
    C3h (Char) ASCII text string
    C4h Date
    CCh Logical
    CEh Numeric
  2. Field length for non-numerical fields Byte 16 is normally field length (0-255) and byte 17 represents the high byte for field length (256-65535). (FoxPro, Clipper)
  3. Plus byte: dBASE III+ and later only
    4. Three bit flags
    0 Form feed PRIOR TO report
    1 Form feed AFTER report
    2 Plain report without form feed
