Re: CONST and VALUE revisited

David wrote:
I thought I would read in the data area in my main procedure
and then directly call a subprocedure with CONST on the parameter
to protect my data area.
However, from experience I've noticed that it is still possible to modify
the parameter inadvertently, and we have already discussed this.
Someone said that CONST in reality only means that the parameter
is not INTENDED to be changed.

So, I just thought it was a bit ironic : normally, I use CONST on all
parameters
used for input. But now that I REALLY don't want my parameter to be
changed,
I shall code VALUE instead.
