Global constants are declared on the Constants Tab of Services in the ITP/Server Administrator. These settings should be used to define settings that apply to this specific ITP/Server setup. Some examples:
• Directory paths
• Printer names
• Names of remote servers
• User names and passwords for remote servers
Every script that is run on this server can access these settings.
Its value is the (constant) value as defined on the Constants tab.
Note
If you define a constant in your script with the same name as a global constant the script compiler will give an error message.
The following five global constants provide defaults for internal commands:
