Data type extension

IBM® WebSphere® Multichannel Bank Transformation Toolkit contains typed data elements that represent business objects such as Date, ProductNumber and Money. A typed data element identifies how WebSphere Multichannel Bank Transformation Toolkit displays the business object and the validation that must occur when WebSphere Multichannel Bank Transformation Toolkit changes an attribute value.

A typed data element can be either a simple type or a compound type. A simple type has only one property. A compound type has multiple properties. By default, WebSphere Multichannel Bank Transformation Toolkit provides four basic types: String, Number, Date and Currency. WebSphere Multichannel Bank Transformation Toolkit also provides the capabilities that enable a technical developer to implement project-specific data types.
