CON

The Constant (CON) context contains any constant or literal values that you want to specify.

You only use CON context values to specify input values to fields. There are also some restrictions associated with the usage of this context:

• You cannot use the CON context with status (STS) fields. You should use the CND context with STS fields.
• Numeric constants must be less than or equal to ten characters in length, including the decimal point and sign. A maximum of five characters is allowed after the decimal point.
• Alphanumeric constants must be less than or equal to twenty characters in length.

The CON context is available in the action diagrams of all function types.

This is shown in the action diagram as:

  DB1.Order quantity = CON.15.00                   <<<
