edmiGetAttrPrimitiveType

EdmiError edmiGetAttrPrimitiveType(SdaiAttr          attributeId,
                                    SdaiPrimitiveType *dataType);

Returns the primitive type of the data value that can be assigned to the specified attribute in an instance of a type that contains this attribute.

In this context an attributeID also represents a view_entity attributeID.

The dictionary model that defines the specified attribute must be open before this function can be successfully performed.

Arguments

Type	Name	Comment
SdaiAttr	attributeId	A numeric attributeID that uniquely identifies the attribute definition instance in the EDMdatabase. The attributeID is returned from the sdaiGetAttrDefinition and sdaiGetAttrDefinitionBN functions.
SdaiPrimitiveType	dataType	Address of the variable that will receive the legal primitive type of data value that can be assigned to the specified attribute.

Return Value

Error rendering macro 'excerpt-include' : User 'null' does not have permission to view the page 'US:_r_EDMInterface'.
