Dynamic constant names -SOLVED

Art, Thanks for the suggestion, but I think there is a flaw in your solution. The original issue was how to get at the value of a constant where the $constant_name is dynamically created as a variable. In your solution you have defined constant_name as a constant! So when you assign it, it does, of course, behave as a constant. I don't think the ${...} notation is doing anything - it is just being ignored by the parser so far as I can see ...
