Use Constants to Standardize Code
Siebel Visual Basic and Siebel eScript provide constants that you can use to make your code more readable by other developers. A constant clarifies the intent of the operation. Use the constant name in your code. Do not use the integer value in your code. The integer value is included only to aid in debugging. If you store the constant in a local variable, and if the value of the local variable is available, then Siebel CRM displays the integer value in the Debugger.
The following information lists the Siebel constants you can use.
It is recommended that you use the constant and that you do not use the integer value because integer values are subject to modification.
