Event Action Parameter Functions

Predefined functions can be used, within event action parameters, to build expressions that reference values needed by that action. These values can represent variable values, parameter values, or subactions. For example, the GC function can be invoked to reference a particular event global constant value. Or the SUBSTITUTE function can be used to build an expression that substitutes certain values within a defined string at run time.

All of the following functions are available from the Select a function field on the Event Action Expression Editor form. You can also use them by typing them manually into an expression on the Event Actions form, in the Parameters text field.

In addition, use these "pre-parser" functions when you need an expression that contains elements for other functions/expressions:

For more information about these two functions, see the information about "Pre-parser Functions" in the Guide to the Application Event System.
