Where and how the Result data type is defined?

I was trying to find where and how the data type Result which an array of them appears in Locals as soon as we insert a step and I couldn't find it in the Types tab.

Thanks.

If you mean the ResultList array, it is automatically created by TestStand in a new sequence.

You can read a more about it in chapter "Result Collection" here:

The Result data type for default steps is defined in NI_Types.ini, the document mentioned above also explains how the results are copied from the Result data type of a step to the ResultList array.

I hope that this information helps you.
