Description

> Note: Use GetActivityAttrText() for Form, URLs, lookups and document attribute types.

Arguments (input) | itemtypeA valid item type.
itemkey | A string generated from the application object's primary key. The string uniquely identifies the item within an item type. The item type and key together identify the process. See: CreateProcess.

> Note: Pass #SYNCH as the itemkey to create a forced synchronous process. See: Forced Synchronous Processes.

aname | The internal name of an activity attribute, for GetActivityAttrText(), GetActivityAttrNumber(), and GetActivityAttrDate().
