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.
