Here is the situation
I have a parameter set. Let us say, psA
There is one parameter defined in this parameter. Let us say, firstParamA which has a value of "ABC"
I have another parameter set psB which has one parameter firstParamB from which I need to get the value of "ABC"
If I define psB.firstParamB = psA.firstParamA, the value passed is psA.firstParamA whereas I need the value defined for psA.firstParamA.
In other words, I need the equivalent of an eval function such that I could do define
psB.firstParamB = eval(psA.firstParamA) so that at run-time psA.firstParamA gets evaluated/interpreted and provides the value of "ABC"
Is this possible?
Many thanks,

Short answer? No.
Slightly longer answer... there's no ability to do the multiple levels of resolution (your 'eval') that you are looking for.
Not saying that there is no workaround of any kind, but nothing is popping into my head at the moment so just answering the question as asked.

That's the values files that form part of the Parameter Set. But even so it has to be done prior to use. The only solution of which I am aware is to use a hierarchy of sequences.
