If you want to use a constant, non-calculated value in an expression, you can do this by using the following syntax, which depends on the data type of the constant you want to use.
Text.
If you want to write a text constant, the following syntax may be used:
| "Hello World!" |
Number.
If you want to write a numeric constant, the following syntax may be used:
| 2018 |
Date.
If you want to write a date constant, the following syntax may be used:
| #2018-12-31# |
For instance, if you simply want the expression to return the number 2018, the expression looks like this:
| 2018 |
If you want the expression to return the text Hello World, the expression looks like this:
| "Hello World" |
Inserting Constant Values
In some cases, you do not want to type a constant value but rather pick it from a list of values which is offered by Mail & Deploy.
