About event action parameter functions

Predefined functions can be used, within application event action parameters, to build expressions that reference values needed by that action. These values can represent variable values, parameter values, or sub-actions. 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 these functions are available from the Select a function field on the Event Action Expression Editor form. You can also use them by typing the names manually into an expression in the Parameters field of the Event Actions form.

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