#named

##Syntax A namedType is one of:

(a) typeId (b) moduleId . typeId

##Description A type can be given a name (typeId) and later this name can be used instead of writing out the type.

##Example In this example, phoneRecord is a named type.

    type phoneRecord :
        record
            name : string ( 20 )
            phoneNumber : int
            address : string ( 50 )
        end record
    �
    var oneEntry : phoneRecord
    var phoneBook : array 1 .. 100 of phoneRecord

##Details Form (a) is the most common kind of named type. Form (b) is used when the type name has been exported from a module.

Arrays whose bounds are not known at compile time cannot be named.
