EBSILON®Professional Online Documentation
Along with the elementary data types integer, real, boolean, char and string, which are common in PASCAL, the EbsScript compiler can also identify further data types, which enable a direct coupling between the program and the EBSILON®Professional-model.
The EbsScript compiler also handles these data types as elementary data types.
There is also a primitive type named "Byte". Variables and constants of this type correspond to an 8-bit-wide unsigned integer, i.e. they assume values of 0 – 255. All arithmetic calculations are executed modulo 256.
Please note that in contrast to this, the type "Char" corresponds to a 16-bit-wide integer and a UCS-2 (UTF-16) character (EbsScript strings are UCS-2-coded).

These data types form a hierarchy of objects with the corresponding inheritance properties. The class of an object can be determined with the function getRuntimeClass. The attributes are defined by the specification and the result values of the corresponding components or pipes respectively. For more details see Topology Information.
The sample file Block750.ebs contains the EbsScripts "Topology" and "EbsTypes", which show the use of these data types.
