Bit data Type

In Parallel Job developer guide , underlying data type for Bit is stated as 'Raw'.
But when I check in Parallel job, its underlying datatype comes as 'unit16'.

I think as a Bit is represented as 1000 0000 , it should be raw which represents 1 byte for each character and not uint16, but why job is showing it as unit16, please help.

Not unit, but uint, which stands for "unsigned integer". The job is showing it as whatever you (or its designer) programmed it to show. If you imported the Bit type from a database, then the database reported it as, and probably stores it as, uint16 rather than uint8. What you think is immaterial.
