window

An LSM Information window. Select by a Window Specification, or by placing the cursor in the window. If omitted and the cursor is not in a LSM Information window, uses or opens the first LSM Information window.

variable-name

A variable name.

Only the variable name is relevant in determining the variable type attributes. Extra information such as:

Locating expressions for based variables
array index values
substring ranges

is not needed, and should not be specified.

The type attribute information for the variable includes:

fundamental data type
user-defined data type
type hierarchy

The type attribute information display persists until:

A TYPE command without arguments is issued
The window is closed with a CLOSE command.
Another IDF Language command such as VARIABLE, STRUCTURE, ARRAY, CALLERS, PLOCATES, LANGUAGE STATUS, or MAP is issued. These commands update the LSM Information window with new information
The target program completes execution
Target program execution progresses beyond the variable's defined scope
