Const Statement (VBScript)
Declares constants for use in place of literal values.
[Public | Private] Const constname = expression
Constants are public by default. Within procedures, constants are always private; their visibility can't be changed. Within a script, the default visibility of a script-level constant can be changed using the Private keyword.
To combine several constant declarations on the same line, separate each constant assignment with a comma. When constant declarations are combined in this way, the Public or Privatekeyword, if used, applies to all of them.
You can't use variables, user-defined functions, or intrinsic VBScript functions (such as Chr) in constant declarations. By definition, they can't be constants. You also can't create a constant from any expression that involves an operator, that is, only simple constants are allowed. Constants declared in a Sub or Function procedure are local to that procedure. A constant declared outside a procedure is defined throughout the script in which it is declared. You can use constants anywhere you can use an expression. The following code illustrates the use of theConst statement:
Const MyVar = 459 ' Constants are Public by default. Private Const MyString = "HELP" ' Declare Private constant. Const MyStr = "Hello", MyNumber = 3.4567 ' Declare multiple constants on same line.
