constant declaration

charles.roos

I want to declare a constant that is for programming porpouses in the meaning that it must have one value whatever language user uses.
Should i declare such variable as plain global variable then or should i declare it under Text-constant variables?

If it is language independant it should be a global, not a textconst.

And if that constant is used in multiple objects, best create a new codeunit "Global Constants" (or something like that), make it singleinstance, create a Function in it that returns the value:

E.g. a function might be to return the value of Pi:

Function Pi() : AS DECIMAL
EXIT(3.14159265358979323846); // copied from wikipedia
