Can anyone confirm? In my opinion it should be DA_LONG.

Thanks! :)

Confirmed in R10 and R11.5. And yes, I would also have thought it should be DA_LONG.

It's not allowed to change the type of a container value.

From the docu:
Once you've set a container value using one type you must neither try to access it using another type, nor overwrite it with a value of another type! Using the wrong access will not crash, but it is illegal.
