Using the dict name coming from a string variable

[AriSilva]

Hi folks,
Is there a way to write something like:
string dictName = "SD_PROF_10_ENTREVISTA_DICT";
setfile(dictName, "file.csdb");

I need to set the dictionary in a function depending on a parameter.
Best
Ari

There are a lot of times it would be nice to use a string variable to specify a dynamic dictionary / variable / etc., but unfortunately that's only supported in a few places. Your best bet would be to create a dummy function like:

function SetDictionaryFile(string dictionaryName, string filePath)
    when dictionaryName;
        "DICT1" -> setfile(DICT1, filePath);
        "DICT2" -> setfile(DICT2, filePath);
        "DICT3" -> setfile(DICT3, filePath);
    endwhen;
end;
