Data Types

Return to Introduction  Previous page  Next page

Different programming languages support different inbuilt data types. The Programming Languages Datatypes dialog enables you to extend and manage the set of inbuilt data types associated with a language as well as create new programming languages for use within Enterprise Architect.

Note: You can delete data types that you have defined, but you cannot delete any of the predefined data types.

To access this dialog, select the Settings | Code Datatypes menu option.
