Exceptions

ECapeNoImpl	The operation GetUniversalConstant is “not” implemented even if this method can be called for reasons of compatibility with the CAPE-OPEN standards. That is to say that the operation exists, but it is not supported by the current implementation.
ECapeInvalidArgument	For example, UNDEFINED for constantId argument is used, or value for constantId argument does not belong to the list of recognised values.
ECapeUnknown	The error to be raised when other error(s), specified for the GetUniversalConstant operation, are not suitable.
