- Here is a small sample of code that demonstrates how to do what (I
- think) you're wanting to do:
- }
-
- Type
- TypeID = (tByte, tInt, tLong, tReal, tStr);
-
- Procedure MultiType(Var InVar; InType : TypeID);
-
- Var
- b : Byte Absolute InVar;
- w : Integer Absolute InVar;
- i : LongInt Absolute InVar;
- r : Real Absolute InVar;
- s : String Absolute InVar;
-
- begin
- Case InType of
- tByte : WriteLn('Byte = ',b);
- tInt : WriteLn('Integer = ',w);
- tLong : WriteLn('LongInt = ',i);
- tReal : WriteLn('Real = ',r);
- tStr : WriteLn('String = ',s);
- else WriteLn('Unknown Type!');
- end;
- end;
-

- of course, the above is just an example and it doesn't actually
- do anything useful, but you should be able to adapt it to suit
- your purposes.
