Comments:
integer is a decimal value. For example, if you want to specify an EBCDIC space use DEFAULTBYTE"64"; to specify an ASCII space use DEFAULTBYTE"32".
Decimal value 255 is not permitted.
If you compile with the ILNATIVE Compiler directive, items that will be exposed as IL native types are not initialized according to DEFAULTBYTE. Compile with the NOILNATIVE directive to ensure appropriate items are initialized according to DEFAULTBYTE.
