Operation

Public
RecordTypeRepresentation():RecordType

Details:

Sequential

Behavior:

Returns a record type that replicates the internal state of instances of this type. Essentially, the record type is the state but not the behavior of the class it represents.

Notes:

The RecordTypeRepresentation of a Type in the Schema is a RecordType that can be used to encodes the state of instances of the associated Type. By iterating this across all Types in the Schema would create a RecordSchema containing all of the state encodings of all the types. If this operation were applied to a DataType or RecordType, it would logically return the attributes of the DataType or the original RecordType respectively. <br/>
