The syntax for Literals for complex data types should 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:

| 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:"km"); // Returns "km" |
| ToByteField | Undefined (should not be used) |
Sample
Unit MyUnitVariable = @Unit:"km";
