.NET Framework only

Returns the .NET Type of a named .NET class that is loaded in the current AppDomain. Note that System.Type.GetType requires the fully qualified name, i.e. prefixed by the assembly name, whereas (2017⌶) does not.

Y is a character string containing the name of a .NET object. Unless the fully qualified name is given, the namespaces in the current AppDomain are searched in the order they are specified by ⎕USING or :Using.

If the object is identified in the current AppDomain, the result R is its Type. If not, the function generates DOMAIN ERROR.

Example

      ⎕USING←'System'
      2017⌶'DateTime'
System.DateTime
