Documentation

Definition

The name of a Dictionary object used to define the type of a data element must be specified in this field.

The data type attributes of a data element can be defined by:

• Specifying a domain whose attributes are copied by the data element.
• Specifying a build-in type where the data type, number of places, and possibly decimal places can be directly specified.
• Specifying a reference type, i.e. reference to a class, an interface, a type defined in the Dictionary, a built-in type, or a generic reference to ANY or DATA.

In the maintenance screen you can set the option you require by setting the appropriate flag (domain, built-in type, reference type) and filling in the corresponding input fields.

The field is empty if you use direct type entry.
