Hello,

how can I know the value of a constant, when I have the name of the
constant as a literal string. For example:

define ID_CONSTANT := 100

cVar := "ID_CONSTANT"

Using the makro operator doesn't work.

Stefan,

You cannot. Constants are resolved at compile time, there is no way to find
out the name at runtime.

You could add this line:
xID_CONSTANT := ID_CONSTANT

> cVar := "xID_CONSTANT"

This would work. Obtuse, but it would work.

Sorry - re-reading your post.

No, you cannot. And it makes no sense to do so. If you want to do
something like this then use Joachim Bieler's enumerator class:
bNameArray. It is fully documented and works a treat.
