Hi folks

I need to find a way, if there is one, to retrieve ASP variable values in the following way:

Const FIELD_SIZE = 10
Const FIELD_NAME = "FirstName"
response.write ("<input type=text size=" & getFieldAttr("SIZE")& " name=" & getFieldAttr("SIZE") & ">Some name")

function getFieldAttr (attr)
    getFieldAttr = XX code to retrieve the constant with name "FIELD_" followed by the value of attr XX
end function


I realise this can be done using session variables, whose names can easily be constructed from concatenating strings, but I would prefer to avoid session variables in this case if possible. It might seem useless but I have a large number of constants to be referred to in this way and want to keep central control of access to their values in the one function (eg in case i change the naming convention for the const's). Am happy to incorporate js into this if necessary, since its a local site and only used by me. Thanks. Feel free to criticise my design choice if appropriate! I'm a relative beginner.

Additionally, it allows me to reduce a statement like:

x = session ("APPLICATION_QUESTIONS")(part, questionCounter, APPLICATION_QUESTIONS_ANSWER_TYPE)

with
x = CP_GetQuestionAttr (part, questionCounter, ANSWER_TYPE)

where the CP_GetQuestionAttr function returns the value. which is easier on the eye/brain :)
