FVEx2‖Syntax:

WfsVY‖Type statement diagram


         Type struct_name
             DataField1 As TypeName1
             DataField2 As TypeName2
             (...)
         End Type ' struct_name
     
48EEb‖array fragment

E9UTU‖typename fragment

AqfYj‖primitive data types fragment


      {Boolean|Byte|Currency|Date|Double|Integer|Long|Object|Single|String|Variant}
    
note

edCVA‖Extended types such as Type statement structures, UNO objects or ClassModule objects are valid typenames.

note

TTALN‖A Type structure scope is that of the module it belongs to.


EFSA4‖Example:


         Type Customer
             Name1 As String
             City As String

             oCustomer.City = "Berlin"
         End Sub

TtH8F‖Enumerations can be created using Type statement definitions. Calling Python Scripts from Basic illustrates that mechanism.
