Quote:...snip...

CONSTANT's in someones code must be known at COMPILE time.     Any parameter that is system dependent or can change on the same system between program runs can NOT BE A CONSTANT ! .
Just a thought:

If I have a program that needs to remember the date and time when the program started, that is a CONSTANT for the specific run of that program.

The "run start date and time" value is different for every run, but it is constant within one run, and is never known at compile time.
