Const
Non-modifiable variable declaration.
Const symbolname1 [AS DataType] = value1 [, symbolname2 [AS DataType] = value2, ...]
Declares non-modifiable constant data that can be integer or decimal (floating-point) numbers or strings. The constant type will be inferred if DataType isn't explicitly given.
Specifying String * Size, Zstring * Size or Wstring * Size as DataType is not allowed.
Specifying String as DataType is tolerated but without effect because the resulting type is always a Zstring * Size.
Syntax
Const symbolname1 [AS DataType] = value1 [, symbolname2 [AS DataType] = value2, ...]

Example
Const Red = RGB(252, 2, 4)
Const Black As UInteger = RGB(0, 0, 0)
Const Text = "This is red text on a black bkgnd."
Locate 1, 1
Color Red, Black
Print Text
Sleep
End
