The Constant.Directive class

The Constant.Directive class creates objects which represent the ::CONSTANT directives of an ooRexx program.

Methods of the Constant.Directive class

Returns the name of the constant, as a string element or a symbol element.

Returns the value of the constant. The return value depends on the form of the directive:

When the value is a simple string or symbol (e.g. ::CONSTANT Pi 3.14159), returns the value element.
When the value is a signed number (e.g. ::CONSTANT Offset -10), returns a two-element array containing the sign element and the number element.
When the value is a parenthesized expression (e.g. ::CONSTANT Size (rows * cols)), returns the expression object.
When no value was specified, returns .Nil.

Gets or sets the constant object associated to this directive.
