In addition to the method suggested by Tore,
TYPE(SYS(14,TAGNO(TAG())))
, which works, I found another way to determine the type. Using
VARTYPE(EVALUATE(KEY()))
Both approaches work. If anybody thinks that one approach is more reliable than the other, please let me know. The speed is not that important.
