Could you elaborate on what you mean by "CONSTANT SEQUENCE NAME?" This
sounds like you want the parameter to be a specific value.  If this is
accurate, then I can't see the utility of this, but here's an example:

with type_check
type my_constant_sequence_name( object m )
    return equal( m, "My Constant Sequence Name" )
end type

procedure foo( my_constant_sequence_name bar )
    -- ...
end procedure
foo("My Constant Sequence Name")  -- works
foo("Ha Ha!")                     -- fails
