ObjSubType

[Michael Monschau]

Hi Daniel,

Not sure if that would work in classic but constants can return both numeric or text values. Omnis sometimes has a hard time figuring out what is expected. In the past I have used 
the con() with some success, i.e. con($ref.$objsubtype).

Regards,
Michael
