How to Define Global Variables and Constants

Keywords:     Define Global Variables and Constants 

---

Question:

My question has to do with, for example, being able to define global Errror Codes and using them inside User Define Functions.

Answer:

Make a defined subbroutine like

#DefineSubroutine InitConstants()
   a=5
   b=6
   c=7
   d=8
   return
#EndSubroutine

Then in the main script AND inside EACH #DefineFunction that needs them just add a

InitConstants()

line to define the constants. Note that the constant definition MUST be a #DefineSubroutine, NOT a #DefineFuntion.
