Hi,Given a variable with a string whitch is the name of a constant like
var foo = "ID_BASELIST_NAME";
do I have any chance to convert this into the constant? If try to call SetData(foo, "name"), this, of course, doesn't work, but how can I cast this into the constant's value?

Since ID_BASELIST_NAME et al are just constant names, you'd have to compare the string in a switch (if/else if) list to pull the value (which would be a long list and not helpful to you I would imagine). These names are only recognized by the interpreter or compiler/linker not by the code itself.
