You can't get at the DATUMs in which data values are stored. However you can affect
them, or use them to you advantage. As one example, forcing a number that is
currently stored as a character string to be a number will yield a small performance
benefit when used to control a loop. For exampl

There is a numeric type or "datum" as some people call it.
Since we are talking MV here and not specifically one vendor.
If you look at the opcode of an ADDS machine there is a code for LOADS (string) and
also a seperate one for LOADN (numeric). This implies that there are in fact two
