Imke Feldmann shares a new M function with us:
Look at the M-code that has been generated in the formula bar: “type text” is in quotes and this makes it a text-string. The function dialogue doesn’t give an option to actually select or enter a type expression. This would be without quotes like so:
MyFunction( type text )So if I aim to feed my function a text value to dynamically create a type from it, I need a function that returns a type and accepts a text value to identify the actual type.
