CONST

Syntax

CONST name = value

Description

Defines a constant

Parameters

name - Name of constant

value - Integer value of constant, resolves to a UINT

Return value

None

Remarks

Constants work by direct substitution at compile time. Simple math is allowed to calculate the value and the calculations can contain the names of other constants. A constant cannot reference variables in your program as they are compiler calculated.

Operators allowed for constant calculations: +, -, /, *, &, |
