I'm familiar with the basic differences between CONST and VALUE.  I read
this information when writing my application and I inferred that the actual
passing mechanics were the same between VALUE and CONST, except that CONST
should not be changed by the calling program.  I can't see that this
information  clarifies why a call to an API would fail as mine did using
CONST for an INPUT only variable(pointer).  Did I miss something?
