Get Constant By Name

Overview

Use this function to get the value of a constant where its name is not known at design-time but will be known at run-time.  The function also accepts an optional version number as a parameter if a specific version of the constant is required.  

The function provided, PCF_getConstantByName(), can be used directly in SAIL scripts or process models.

Notes:

• Impact analysis or find precedents will not know the actual constant used by this function or the application. Hence, it is up to the designer to manually add the constants to the application package.
• Version number will not be same across the deployed environments. Consider the adjustments needed if a value for a specific version is required.
