Acquiring resources in custom code block ?

Hi, I wanted to know if there was a way to acquire resources in the custom code block using flexscript? I am making a model in process flow and I wanted to acquire resources in my custom code block instead of using the 'Acquire Resources' block. I haven't found anything in the user guide about how to do this but I may just be looking in the wrong spot.

Thank you very much

You can push and pull from a Global List in code using the List methods like List("ListName").pull(). But other than this, no you can't acquire a resource through code.

Yes, @Jörg Vogel is right. The resource in Process Flow is basically an item on a list.

What I'm curious about is why you don't want to just use the default Acquire Resources activity. Is there a certain functionality you're trying to achieve?

I think it is a pull from and push to list combination. But I might be wrong.
