returnItem

The return item is required and must be of type CHAR, MBCHAR, or UNICODE--

If the item is of type MBCHAR or UNICODE, the received value is always appropriate
If the item is of type CHAR, problems can arise if the received value includes characters that correspond to DBCHAR characters

For details on mismatched lengths, see Assignments.

identifier

An identifier that refers to an object in the object space.

This argument is either a string literal or an item of type CHAR, DBCHAR, MBCHAR, or UNICODE. The identifier must be cast to objId, as in a later example. EGL strips single- and double-byte blanks from the beginning and end of the argument value, which is case sensitive.

An example is as follows:

  myItem = sysLib.javaType( (objId)"myId" );

An error during processing of sysLib.javaType can set sysVar.errorCode to a value listed in the next table.

Value in sysVar.errorCode	Description
00001001	The object was null, or the specified identifier was not in the object space
