SmapTypeStrings |
Function (ROM Call 0x436) |
Returns the 3-4 character description of a variable type.
SmapTypeStrings returns a string of three characters for the variable type
represented by type. Valid values for type are defined in the
enum SystemDataTypes; you can use
GetDataType to convert a tag to such a
type value.
NULL
is returned if type is incorrect.
The value returned is the string displayed in the VAR-LINK dialog. This
string is localized for the current language and can be up to four characters
long. Note that files of type SDT_OTH will
return a pointer to the string "OTH", and not to the true extension of the
file.
