EdmiError edmiGetAttrPrimitiveTypeBN(SdaiString        schemaName,
                                      SdaiString        entityName,

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 attribute also represents a view_entity attribute.

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

Arguments

Type	Name	Comment
SdaiString	schemaName	Specifies the name of an Express schema that defines the attribute of interest. This Express schema must exist as a dictionary model in the EDMdatabase. Schema names are case insensitive.
SdaiString	entityName	Specifies the name of the entity or view_entity that defines the attribute of interest. This entity must be defined by the EXPRESS schema specified by the schemaName argument. Entity names are case insensitive.
SdaiString	attributeName	Specifies the name of the attribute or view_entity attribute of interest. Attribute names are case insensitive.
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
