`Code`

A literal constant value representing a code from an application code table.

The Code expression specifies a code table name, and takes a single argument specifying the value of the code required from the table.

Note: You must specify the code's String value; code table generated constants cannot be used, as CER is a fully dynamic language and cannot be dependent on build-time constructs.
