Constant Definition window

 


Allows you to create, modify or delete a constant. Constants are string or integer values whose names are used in scripts, rather than the literal value. Use this window to change a constant's value. If you modify the value of a constant, be sure to recompile any scripts that use the constant. If you create applications that integrate with Microsoft Dynamics GP, you shouldn't change any Microsoft Dynamics GP constants for this reason.

Dexterity also has predefined constants used for actions such as handling errors, controlling dialog boxes, applying formats and generating sounds. Refer to the following topic for more information about constants:
