typeOf() Operation

set type = anyObject.typeOf();

Returns the type of any object at run-time. To get the type the object has had at compile-time use the staticTypeOf() Operation. typeOf() and staticTypeOf() may return the same type, though.

type

Can be any variable or object attribute having the type String.

Find a list of all build-in type strings on Type Strings. Other, e.g. model specific, types can be referenced via their path in the Service Panel, see example below.

anyObject

Can be any object.

set aString = anObject.attribute if anObject.attribute.typeOf() = "urn:Base_Types.String";

aString gets the value of anObject.attribute assigned, if the type matches.

Other, e.g. model specific, types can be referenced via their path in the Service Panel, e.g. a class Customer that has been defined in a package Service/Classes/Customer would have the following type string: "urn:Service.Classes.Customer".
