[Mondrian] Datatype in MDSCHEMA_MEASURES

[Matt Campbell]

I'll have to dig into this, but setting the datatype property of a
<CalculatedMember> does not appear to have any
effect--member.getPropertyValue() returns null in the block of code you
snipped.  Setting the datatype attribute of a <Measure> does have an effect,
though.
