You use this program to create or maintain a list of constant values, each identified by a constant code. This program enables you to change the value of the constant code instead of having to change the constant value in each calculation that uses it.
You use these constant codes in calculations where you want to include a constant value, instead of entering the value itself. Calculations are defined using the Browse on Calculation Codes program.
