 # Enum: VariableDataType

 Last update: 22.06.2026 

**Package:** `com.phoenix_int.pacz.api`

**Class Hierarchy**

```
↳ java.lang.Object
  ↳ java.lang.Enum<variabledatatype>
    ↳ com.phoenix_int.pacz.api.VariableDataType

```

**Implemented Interfaces**

- `java.io.Serializable`, `java.lang.Comparable<variabledatatype>`

---

**Deprecated.**

`IRuntimeVariables` are now using the canonical PHX type identifiers which are literal strings (see [`com.phoenix_int.pacz.api.v2.IRuntimeVariables`](v2/IRuntimeVariable.md))

```java
@Deprecated
public enum VariableDataType
extends java.lang.Enum<variabledatatype>

```

## Method Detail

### values

```java
public static VariableDataType[] values()

```

**Deprecated.**

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

```java
for (VariableDataType c : VariableDataType.values())
    System.out.println(c);

```

**Returns:**

- an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

### valueOf

```java
public static VariableDataType valueOf(java.lang.String name)

```

**Deprecated.**

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match *exactly* an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

**Parameters:**

- `name` - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

**Returns:**

- the enum constant with the specified name

**Throws:**

- `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
- `java.lang.NullPointerException` - if the argument is null

### toString

```java
public java.lang.String toString()

```

**Deprecated.**

Get value of enumeration

**Overrides:**

- `toString` in class `java.lang.Enum<variabledatatype>`

**Returns:**

- enumeration value
