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

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;
