Thanks.

Is this in your code template?
in what language are you generating code

java

What do you mean with 'type of the tagged variable'??
If you have a tagged value applied to a variable (attribute) you should use %attTag% to lookup the tagged attributes and %attType% to get their type.
If you mean the type of the tagged value itself, there's no such thing, the values are all of type 'string'

You are right, but what about tagged value applied to a variable (CLASS NOT AN ATTRIBUTE)? Can I have their type like %classType%? I did not found it.

Either I still don't get your intend or we have some semantical problem.
Let's try the other way round:
Could you please specify more details of your custom template, at wich context level it should be applied (class, operation, attributes, ...) show us the code you have and what you want to achieve as result.

Thanks a lot. Now it's clear with Makulik answer.
