Re: rpg constant

I start all constants with C_, and make the name upper case.

It would be fun to compare conventions. I use lower case for compiler reserved keywords (such as opcodes and BIFs) upper case for external names (files, database fields, programs, etc.) and camel case for internal names. Constants are a special case, I want to see that it's a constant so I do all uppercase and additionally prefix it with C_.

Have we a list where we can post amusing pieces of code?

This one made me smile, though on another day I might have cried. D gYes C 'Y'

then, if myfield = gYes, etc.
1. It has no sense.
2. Its written in English instead of French ( imagine seeing if myfield = gOui in YOUR code )
3. Isn't it standard to code constants in upper case? It is here.
