Hi Kobby bryant,

All functions (regardless of whether they are standard or user-defined functions) that do not have input values are refered to as Generating Functions (Constant, Sender, Receiver and CopyValue() are generating functions). All other functions are generic functions.

Hi Kobby,

Generic functions are those functions which do not fetch any values from the source message,but generate target message based upon some conditions.All functions(regardless of whether Used Defined or standard) which do not take any values are called generic functions.functions of the Constant function category(e.g.constant,copyvalue,sender,receiver) are generic functions.

Thanks,

Pooja
