Typed data

Most attributes require a particular type of data: boolean, integer, string, double, or imported. For these attributes, the same rules apply as in the Macro Editor:

• The consequences of selecting the basic macro format or advanced macro format (see Basic and advanced macro format).
• The rules for representing strings and special characters, and for treating operator characters (see Representation of strings and non-alphanumeric characters).
• The rules for equivalent entities (see Equivalents).
• The rules for data type conversion (see Automatic data type conversion).
• The rules for arithmetic operators and expressions (see Arithmetic operators and expressions).
• The rules for the string concatenation operator (see String concatenation operator (+)).
• The rules for conditional and logical operators and expressions (see Conditional and logical operators and expressions).
• The rules for representing variables (see Introduction to macro variables and imported types).
• The rules for calling methods on imported variables (see Calling Java methods).
