Constants

Displays the specified Express constants(s) either in its original source Express format or in a format constructed from the related dictionary model(s). The actual display format is chosen by setting the appropriate option.
The available formats are:

  1. The EXPRESS format is built from the populated dictionary model(s), hence the layout may differ from the original EXPRESS Schema as stored on the source file.
  2. The actual constants(s) are displayed exactly like the format and layout in the original Express schema. This format is only available if the related dictionary model(s) was created by the Schemata>DefineSchema command with the [storing source] option set.

All constants with a name that exactly or partly matches the arguments <Schema> and <Constant> will be displayed unless the option [exact match] is set, then only the constant with a name that exactly matches the arguments <Schema> and <Constant> will be displayed.
Arguments:

Schema:

Specify the name of schema(ta) in the EDMdatabase that defines the constant(s) to display. Schema names are case insensitive.
When activating the Select button, the names of all existing schemata will be displayed in the related selection list.

Constant:

Specify the name of the actual constant(s) defined in the schema(ta) specified by the <Schema> argument that will be displayed. Constant names are case insensitive.
When activating the Select button, the name of all constants in the schema(ta) specified by the <Schema> argument will be displayed in the related selection list.

Options:

accumulating command output:

A global option that appends the command output to the EDMsupervisor output window. Otherwise the output window is refreshed and only the last command output is displayed

exact match:

Displays only the constant with a name that exactly matches the specified name in the <Schema> and <Constant> arguments.

match selected input:

A global option that specifies that only items that partly or exactly matches the string in the related argument input field when activating a Select button, will be in the selection list. An empty (blank) string will match all items.

show source:

Display the body of the constant in exactly the same layout as on the originating EXPRESS source file. This option is only effective when the schema(ta) that defines the actual constants was compiled with the option [storing source] set when the actual dictionary model(s) was produced by the Schemata>DefineSchema command.
