In the following example, a LONGWORD field (QUANTITY) follows a  BYTE
  field.   The  PRODUCT_NO  field spans 64 bits, the DATE_ORDERED field
  spans 64 bits, and the STATUS_CODE field spans 8 bits.   The  ALIGNED
  clause  causes  the three bytes following STATUS_CODE to remain empty
  and aligns QUANTITY exactly 160 bits beyond the start of the record.
