language data type conversion

[Jakub]

Is there a way how to transform a data type from PSM to PIM e.q. in C# there is a type UInt16 which would reffer to int in PIM.

CONVERT_TYPE does this transformation from PIM to PSM

Just from the stomach my feeling is that transformation was designed for the forward process, not for re-engineering. So the answer is most likely: not possible unless you use some add-in.

If you're writing transform templates to do it then it would look something like this.

%if attType="UInt16"%
 type="int"
%elseIf ... %

%endIf%

thanks!

Is it possible to do a contain operation on string?
something like "Dictionary<String, Shift>".contains("Dictionay")

You'll find FIND on the help page for function macros, but you'll need to do it before the condition and assign it to a variable to check later.
