Use of TYPE at the PML Level

The TYPE attribute returns the base-type, for example EQUI, for UDET. The attribute ACTTYPE returns the derived type, if one. for example a :PUMP. The FULLTYPE attribute returns the derived type such as EQUIPMENT or :PUMP. To get the Base full-type of an element, the attribute FULSYS should be used.

The table below summarizes the functionality:


	Base type	Derived type
Full word, for example. EQUIPMENT	FULSYS/TYPE	FULL/TYPE
Short word, for example. EQUl	TYPE	ACTTYP/E

The attribute Query Q ATT (and the general attribute form) will include ACTTYPE as well as type for UDET elements. ACTTYPE will be omitted if the element is not a UDET.
