Symbolic strings

Since I’m still in the Siebel learning phase, everything is new to me. So today I found out something strange about symbolic strings.

I had to change the spelling of a word in the entire application. Since we used symbolic strings for this, I thought it was enough to change the symbolic string and everywhere in the application the correct spelling would be applied.

But no, apparently, you have to compile every object where you use the symbolic string. For me, this comes as a chock. I thought the purpose of symbolic strings was to simplify the use of titles and such in Siebel. But I guess I was wrong.

    Hey, good point. Having to do a full compile is still simpler than having to actually make the change everywhere though, I suppose…

    Like what you’re doing here. :)
