4b. Select Data Type

A select data type defines a named collection of other types.

This collection is called the select list.
An instance of a select data type is an instance of one of the types specified in the type list.
This allows an attribute or variable to be one of several types.
If the type of an attribute is a select type, then it is defined to be one of the types in the select list.

TYPE assembly_component_select
= SELECT (assembly_manufacturing_child, located_part, located_feature, located_joint_system);
