These artefacts are the Value Domain Subset (or Set), either enumerated or described, the Set List (list of values belonging to enumerated subsets) and the Data Set Component (aimed at defining the set of values that the Component of a Data Set can take, possibly a subset of the codes of Value Domain). 507 507 ... ... @@ -527,7 +527,7 @@ 527 527 528 528 The VTL data types are sub-divided in scalar types (like integers, strings, etc.), which are the types of the scalar values, and compound types (like Data Sets, Components, Rulesets, etc.), which are the types of the compound structures.
