$objtype for Item Reference

[Bastiaan Olij]

Hi Hugh,

It depends on the object or variable your item reference is pointing to.
It can be either $type, $objtype or $coltype

When I do not know what item reference could be I end up doing something
similar to:
calculate lvType as pRef.$type()
calculate lvType as pick(isnull(lvType),lvType,pRef.$objtype)
calculate lvType as pick(isnull(lvType),lvType,pRef.$coltype)

Greetz,

Bas
