[amibroker] Re: Defining constant in AFL

["sfclimbers" <sfclimbers@xxxxxxxxx>]

It's not really a constant, in the sense that there's nothing stopping anyone from changing the value. But, you can mimic the concept by creating an include file and then just #include_once that file wherever you want to use the "constant".

e.g.

constants.afl
-------------
MY_CONSTANT = 10;

chart.afl
---------
#include_once <constants.afl>

x = MY_CONSTANT;
...

or

function myFunction() {
  global MY_CONSTANT;
  local x;

  x = MY_CONSTANT;
  ...
}
