Constants - General Information

Although the identifiers listed previously are said to be constants, some of them have different values depending on the unit type running the script.

Example: Asset Management Scripting Language Predefined String Constants

The predefined string constant LocalPath points to c:\clientws (for example) when the script is being run as a computer job. When the script is being run as a user (group) job, LocalPath points instead to c:\clientus (for example).

WindowsDir Constant

When accessed for the first time, the Script Interpreter locates and stores the path of the Windows directory in the constant.

The path ends with a backslash (\).
