Documentation

Definition

A reference type is a reference to another type. There are the following kinds of reference types:

• Reference to a class or an interface
• Reference to a type defined in the Dictionary
• Generic reference to OBJECT or DATA
• Reference to a built-in Dictionary type with specification of the length and possibly also the decimal places

You can use a reference type to define the data type properties for a data element, or for typing the component of a structure or the line type of a table type.
