1. Re: When will Eu be updated again and more
Robert,
what will happen in this sort of case...
mycommon.e:
global constant True = (1 = 1),
False = (1 = 0)
FILE_A.E:
include mycommon.e
if ... = True then ...
FILE_B.E:
include mycommon.e
if ... = True then ...
MainProg.ex:
global constant True = "TRUE",
False = "False"
include FILE_A.E
include FILE_B.E
==================
In this sort of scenerio, which "True" constant is seen by FILE_A.E code?
Will we have to code something like ...
if ... = mycommon.True then ....
And will this be possible in mainProg.ex ...
if ... = mycommon.True then return MainProg.True
