Hi Tim.
TH>MV> String constant, where???
TH>ie. A$ = "abc"
That would be a string literal.  An assignment statement further down in
the program could change its value to something else, so it's not
constant at all.
PowerBASIC supports only integer constants.
For example, I use the following in many of my programs ...
%TRUE = -1
%FALSE = 0
Cheers!
