Description
A Unit represents a physical unit which is defined in a UNIT-SPEC. A Unit can be associated to a physical value when creating a Quantity, but it can also be used stand-alone, e.g. when comparing the display Unit of a Quantity to another Unit object.
Literal
The syntax for Literals for complex data types will be used, UnitLiteral be used to create a Unit object based on a unit definition contained in UNIT-SPEC document.
Value = LiteralCore Conversion
The following table shows the rules for conversion to another data type:
| Conversion | Result | Sample |
| ToBoolean | Undefined (should not be used) | |
| ToInteger | Undefined (should not be used) | |
| ToFloat | Undefined (should not be used) | |
| ToString | Returns the DISPLAY-NAME of the corresponding unit definition. | String s = ToString([@Unit, "BL_DataLibraMIB.odx", "km"]); // Returns "km" |
| ToByteField | Undefined (should not be used) |
Sample
Quantities.Unit UnitVariable = [@Unit, "BL_DataLibraMIB.odx", "km"];
