WARNING: Bitfield width larger than type.


Explanation


Explanation

A bitfield declaration specified a field width larger than required by the specified type. For example a char bitfield was specified with more than 8 bits. The extra bits are not used to store the value and are treated as padding. This warning is only issued with the NOBITFIELD option. Otherwise the SAS/C bitfield rules are applied and all bits are used for the value.
