This function returns the numeric type of a scaled array as an upper-case character string (e.g. ’ _REAL’ ). The returned type describes the values stored in the array, before they are unscaled using the associated scale and zero values. Use aryType if you need the data type of the array after it has been unscaled.

void arySctyp( Ary $\ast$ary, char type[ARY__SZTYP$+$1], int $\ast$status )

• If the array is not stored in SCALED form, then this routine returns the same type as the aryType function.

• The symbolic constant ARY__SZTYP should be used to declare the length of a character variable which is to hold the numeric type of an array. This constant is defined in the header file ary_par.h.
