Constants
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Constant is one of the two forms that data may take
within a template. It is literal data (a sequence of
literal characters that is used within an expression to
represent some value) that does not change during the
execution of a template. Constants can be combined with
other constants or variables of the same type by
operators in expressions to produce new data values.
These new values can be either used directly within
the template or assigned to a variable. Constants can
not be used on the left-hand side of an assignment.
The Template Language allows the use of four types of
constants:
Integer constants
Logical constants
String constants
Code Blocks
An integer constant is a sequence of one or more
undelimited numeric characters.
A logical constant is denoted by either the .T. for the
value TRUE or .F. for the value FALSE.
A string constant is a sequence of typeable characters
enclosed within matching double or single quotes.
A code block constant can be any Template Language
statement with the exception of variable declarations,
variable assignments, control structures or return
statements.
