following:
String
Numeric
Decimal

The API uses string values. The MWX data type (XML files) uses enumerated 
constants in the form of string expressions.
It is recommended that you do not use Float or Double data types because of 
the inherent inaccuracies in comparing them. 
For information about using key columns with DWF layers, see “Displaying 
Friendly Names and URLs” on page 31.
