How to create user defined constants in JScript?

Hi





I suggest that you see the "Declaring JScript Variables and Constants" and "User Defined Data Types" MSDN articles.

Hello Alex,



Yes, I found those links before. The only form that does not gives a syntax error in TestComplete is "var <name> = <value>;". All the rest gives you a syntaxt error while processing "const":



    const daysInWeek  = 7;

    const favoriteDay  = "Friday";

    const daysInWeek : int = 7;



Regards,

Patricio.

Hi Patricio,





Sorry for the confusion. The articles I gave you are regarding JScript .NET. The scripting language used in TestComplete is not a .NET version. In regular JScript, constants are not supported, so the "const" statement is not available.





I suggest that you use variables instead. Please see the "About Variables" and the "Code Metrics" articles for the information.

To minimize your global namespace, I suggest you create constants under an object literal:



var Constants = {

  A : 1,

  B : 2,

  C : 3

};

Good idea. Thanks!

Patricio.
