      • evaluateDefaultExpressionForToArrayFunction

        String[] evaluateDefaultExpressionForToArrayFunction()
        Special method, which attempts to evaluate an Array.toXXXArray default expression of the JobDefinitionParameter and converts it to String[] or null. If the parameter is not an array parameter throws a RuntimeException. If the expression is null, the method returns null. If the expression is a literal value the method returns an array with 1 element (the literal value). If the expression contains non-literal parameters (e.g another function call), the array will contain the function call as element. If compiling fails, or conversion of array parameters fails, the method returns null. If however the expression contains valid literals or some function calls, for example: =Array.toStringArray('a','b','c') returns an array with 3 elements: 'a', 'b' and 'c'. Another example: =Array.toNumberArray('1',2,Custom_Lib.getNumberValue()) returns an array with 3 elements: '1', 2 and Custom_Lib.getNumberValue() Note: This method will never evaluate non-literals (function calls) of the toXXXArray functions, to prevent side-effects. Strings will be returned quotes as they originally were.
        Returns:
        String array or null
