Extend a Data Type

You can extend a data type in the mapper. An extended data type is a primitive data type or container with a supplementary name and some additional properties. Extended data types are user-defined types based on the primitive data types boolean, integer, real, string, and date, and the composite type container.

  1. Right click a target element and select Extended Data Types.
  2. From the Ext Datatypes list, select the data type to extend.
