Syntax
set type = anyObject.typeOf();
SemanticsReturns 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.
SubstitutablestypeCan be any variable or object attribute having the type String. 
anyObjectCan be any object.
Examples
set aString = anObject.attribute if anObject.attribute.typeOf() = "urn:Base_Types.String";

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

Find below a list of all Base Types of the Designer together with their type string as returned by typeOf() and staticTypeOf().

Bridge Base Type Type String
Any urn:Base_Types.Any
Array urn:Base_Types.Array
Blob urn:Base_Types.Blob
Boolean urn:Base_Types.Boolean
DateTime urn:Base_Types.DateTime
Float urn:Base_Types.Float
Integer urn:Base_Types.Integer
String urn:Base_Types.String

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".
