     '_t_y_p_e': Object of class '"TypeDescription"'  the information for
          this parameter describing the  data type that is expected in
          the call to this function for this parameter 

     '_s_t_y_l_e': Object of class '"ParameterStyle"'  the call style for
          this parameter, indicating whether it is an in, out or in/out
