Detailed Description

Converts a data type into the generic (class *) form.

Will convert structured data into its generic form and return a pointer to this. The caller should also specify whether to make a copy of the data or not

Parameters

data	The structured data to convert into generic
copyflag	Whether to use a copy of the structured data or not

Returns

A pointer to the generic representation of the data
