Enclosing interface:

NAMES

public static interface NAMES.TYPENAMES

The TYPENAMES interface defines the names of all system-defined types used in SIRA_PRISE. The doc for each individual type named includes a short description of the system-provided type, an overview of its possreps and components, plus a link to the implementation doc. In the overview of each type's possreps, the possreps marked (D) are the default ones, these will be used for externalizing values of the type.
