So a string functions like LEFT ("abc",2) is not a cas function.

So i cant check the return type unless i know it apriori.?

But what is the function 'type()' which i can use in a cas window?

It takes a string and returns DOM_STRING not an identifier.

In a program, type ( returns the same thing as TYPE () so i used CAS.type.

If 'type' is not a cas function then what could possibly be used
in a program that would return DOM_STRING..when given
a string.??

It is quite bizzare to me that just asking a mechanical question
like type of would evaluate anything. I can see that CAS () evaluates
but what exactly is the point of having a function 'type'?
