Description

is the UNO representation of the Automation type DATE.

A DATE could actually be representd asdouble in UNO and therefore a typedef from double to a date type would do. But a typedef cannot be expressed in all language bindings. In the case where no typedefs are supported the actual type is used. That is, a typedef'd date type would be represented as double in Java. The information that the double is a date type is lost.

When calling Automation objects from UNO the distinction between double and date type is important. Therefore Date is declared as struct.
