TYPE

type = TYPE( var-name AS VARIANT ) AS INTEGER

Returns the type of the variable as an INTEGER.  Types are defined as follows:

CONST MB_DT_UNKNOWN      = 0

CONST MB_DT_INTEGER      = 1

CONST MB_DT_REAL         = 2

CONST MB_DT_STRING       = 3

CONST MB_DT_REFERENCE    = 4

CONST MB_DT_MODULE       = 5

CONST MB_DT_HANDLE       = 6

Example:

DIM itype AS INTEGER

DIM nisse AS STRING

itype = TYPE( nisse )    ' This will return 3

PRINT "Variable ";VARNAME( nisse );" is of type ";itype,
