Ordinal properties that can be retrieved include:

Integers and subranges of integers

The value of the integer will be returned.

Enumerated types and subranges of enumerated types

The ordinal value of the enumerated type will be returned.

Sets

If the base type of the set has less than 31 possible values. If a bit is set in the return value, then the corresponding element of the base ordinal class of the set type must be included in the set.

Errors
