NAME
     %DataTypeName (or %K) - Data type record identifier (and aliases)

SYNOPSIS
     %DataTypeName identifier [ alias... ]

DESCRIPTION
     Give the identifier of a data_type. This identifier can
     be followed by aliases (separated by spaces or tab).
      
     The characters comma (,) and : (colon) are not allowed in
     identifier.
     dollar ($) and parenthesis ((,)) are reserved to define variable
     data type identifier (see the field %DataType.Conv).
      
     All identifiers and aliases have to be different in a same
     service (see %Owner field).
      
     Rem: there are four default data types defined in GLU (under
     "GLU'dommgr" service):
      
     1) Mime($MimeType) : MIME type    ex: Mime(text/html)
     2) Coo($Sys,$Fmt)  : Astronomical coordinates
      
           where $Sys can be:
        J2000 Standard Julian coord.
        B1950 Standard Besselian coord.
        FK4[:equinox] Besselian coord. with an equinox (defaults to 1950)
        F54[:equinox] Julian coord. with an equinox (defaults to 2000)
        GAL   Galactic coordinates
        SGAL  Supergalactic coordinates
        ECL   Ecliptic Coordinates
      
           where $Fmt can be:
        COOd  The entire coord. string in decimal degrees (76.96583 -76.44222)
        COO   The entire coord. string in sex. format (05 07 51.8 -76 26 32)
        RA    The RA in standard sexigesimal form (05 07 51.8)
        RAdeg The RA in degrees (76.96583)
        RAh   The hours of right ascension (05)
        RAhd  The RA in decimal hours (5.13106)
        RAm   The minutes of RA (07)
        RAmd  The minutes of RA including any fractional minutes (07.9)
        RAs   The seconds of RA (52)
        RAsd  The seconds of RA including fractional seconds (51.8)
        DE    The DE in standard sexigesimal form (-76 26 32.0)
        DEdeg The DE in degrees (-76.44222)
        DEd   The degrees of DE (-76)
        DEm   The minutes of DE (26)
        DEmd  The minutes of DE including fractional minutes (26.5)
        DEs   The seconds of DE (32)
        DEsd  The seconds of DE including fractional seconds (32.0)
        LON   The longitudinal coord. in degrees (288.48372)
        LAT   The latitudinal coord. in degrees (-32.30250)
      
     3) J2000 : equivalents to Coo(J2000,COO) data type
     4) B1950 : equivalents to Coo(B1950,COO) data type
