I'd love a way to expose data type/encoding (32 bit integer, UTF-16LE, 64 bit real etc) as values. These encoded values already show up next to the Attribute Name in the Feature Information Pane.

An example could be:

OBJECTID	Name	Age	Address
01	Andy	22.5	1234 main St, college station, tx
02	Joe	43	143 2nd st, college station tx

would output as:

OBJECTID	Name	Age	Address
32 bit int	String	64 bit real	string

The reason I'm trying to do this is to help with describing sensitive tables with support groups, be it Esri or FME or other. I've been trying to make a custom transformer that'll do it but can't quite crack it.

Thanks
