type

Type:	NumericTypeCodeType
Use:	required

The type attribute is used by the documentor to describe the numeric response domain.

Attribute Value

enumeration of xs:NMTOKEN

Enumeration:

"BigInteger"	-	An integer of unlimited size. An integer datatype corresponding to W3C XML Schema's xs:integer datatype.
"Integer"	-	An integer number can hold a whole number, but no fraction. Integers may be either signed (allowing negative values) or unsigned (nonnegative values only). An integer datatype corresponding to W3C XML Schema's xs:int datatype.
"Long"	-	An integer of up to 32 bits in size (corresponding to an unsigned range of 0 to 4,294,967,295 or a signed range of -2,147,483,648 to +2,147,483,647). A numeric datatype corresponding to W3C XML Schema's xs:long datatype.
"Short"	-	An integer of up to 16 bits in size (corresponding to an unsigned range of 0 to 65,535 or a signed range of -32,768 to +32,767), A numeric datatype corresponding to W3C XML Schema's xs:short datatype.
"Decimal"	-	A real number (allows fractions expressed as decimals). A numeric datatype corresponding to W3C XML Schema's xs:decimal datatype.
"Float"	-	Real numbers that may be stored in scientific notation (example: 20.0005, 99.9, -5000.12, 6.02e23). A numeric datatype corresponding to W3C XML Schema's xs:float datatype.
"Double"	-	Float of up to 32 bits. A numeric datatype corresponding to W3C XML Schema's xs:double datatype.
"Count"	-	Ordinal number of objects in a finite set, discrete. A simple incrementing Integer type. The isSequence facet must be set to true, and the interval facet must be set to "1".
"Incremental"	-	A value that is continuous and infinite can be interval or ratio. This value indicates that the value increments according to the value provided in the interval facet, and has a true value for the isSequence facet.
