Internally DBF Script operates with the Variant type and is based on it. Nevertheless, you can use the following predetermined types in your scripts: Byte | Same as Integer type Word | Integer | Longint | Cardinal | TColor | Boolean | Boolean type Real | Same as Extended type Single | Double | Extended | TDate | TTime | TDateTime | Char | Char type String | String type Variant | Same as Variant type Pointer | Array | Array type C++Script maps some types to standard types:
int, long = Integer void = Integer bool = Boolean float = Extended JScript has no types, all types are variants. BasicScript may have types (for example, dim i as Integer), or may have no types and even no variable declaration. In this case a variable will have Variant type. Not all of these types can be assign-compatible. Like in Object Pascal, you can't assign Extended or String to an Integer. Only one type - the Variant - can be assigned to all the types and can get value from any type. Except the built-in types you can use the enumerated types defined in your application or in add-in modules (for example after adding the TfsGraphicsRTTI component you can use TPenMode, TFontStyles and other types). |
