Named Constant - #define and const.
Constants must be declared in the “global declarations” section, i.e. before the first
function. Named constants declared with #define are accessible only in the current
program. Constants declared using const can be used by other programs.
#define is used to declare named constants locally. For example, if a program uses the
same constant several times, a named constant can be used as in the following
example:
// program : test1
#define AC 200000000
function run()
…
a1.ac=AC
a2.ac=AC
a1.dc=AC
a2.dc=AC
…
end function
To declare a global constant, which is visible to other programs and the command
interpreter, use
const as in the following example:
// program test1
const AC=200000000
function run()
…
a1.ac=AC
a2.ac=AC
a1.dc=AC
a2.dc=AC
…
end function
Now the command interpreter has access to the named constant:
>test1.AC
200000000
