Might be me but i need a little more context.

You can use the VST information to grab field information like name and data-type.

If you're using buffers you can query attributes to get the information. ---- >Buffer-field object handle

I assume you're looking for whole numbers in decimals. Try this:

function isWhole returns logical (p-dec as decimal):

  return (p-dec >=0 and p-dec = truncate( p-dec, 0 ) ).

end function.

display
  isWhole( 3.5 ) /* no  */
  isWhole( 4 )   /* yes */
  isWhole( -1 )  /* no  */
  isWhole( 0 )   /* yes */
.

│no  yes no  yes│
