**#TYPEMAP (**// equate data type//,// 32-bit representation //[,//16-bit representation//]// //**)**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

| **#TYPEMAP** | Maps an EQUATE data type to a true data type based on the target operating system. |
| equate data type | A string constant containing the label of an equate used to represent a data type. |
| //32-bit data type// | A string constant containing the label of a data type that represents the equated data type in a 32-bit program. |
| //16-bit data type// | A string constant containing the label of a data type that represents the equated data type in a 16-bit program.(deprecated) |

The **#TYPEMAP **statement allows the template to map a data type EQUATE to a true data type based on the target operating system of the application. This allows the compiler to resolve these EQUATES to their respective data types.

**Example:**

**#TYPEMAP('SIGNED','LONG')**

**#TYPEMAP('SIGNED','LONG','SHORT')**
