I don't believe WDSC (or RDi) will allow you to monitor a constant. I have tried this in the past and it wouldn't allow me to do it.

Re: [WDSCI-L] WDSC Debugger - Display Named Constants






David,

That was my first thought also...

However, named variables are just address, the compiler substitutes an
address every place a variable is used right?

It seems to me it's not unreasonable for the debugger to be able to
show us a constant.

Particularly since IIRC, for a constant, the compiler simply sets the
vaule up as automatic storage and replaces the name with an address
just like a variable.

Doubtful ... named constants are just that ... constants. The compiler
probably just substitutes the assigned value whenever the name is
referenced.
