getDataType

This function returns the dataType (see dal) of a given FITS-image or table-column. For the input FITS filename, the form of `ABC.fits:TABNAME' is allowed, where the TABNAME is the name of the FITS extention of interest. The priority order for the table-name (tabName) in given setTabName, extention number (extNum) and extention name (extName) explicitly given is

extName $>$ tabName $>$ extNum,

that is, extName is always considered first if given. Note that if the given extName (or tabName) is an empty string, it is ignored and the next highest priority one is used.
