A menu item.

USE
Use Constant to access the following input
constants:
* Text
* Integer
* Real
* Coord
* Complex
* PComplex
* Date/Time

LOCATION
Data ==> Constant

EXAMPLES
When you type (2, @PI/2) into a PComplex
object, it is evaluated and returns (2, @90)
(if Trig Mode is set to Degrees).

When you type 14 + exp10(3) into a Real
object, it is evaluated and returns 1014.

When you type (1, 2) into a Real object, an
error is returned because HP VEE does not
allow the conversion from Complex to Real.

NOTES 
All Constants objects, except Text, support
the use of arbitrary formulas in the input
box.  The formula is immediately parsed and
evaluated and the resulting Scalar number is
used as the value for the Constant.
Constants do not support input variables
like the Formula object does, therefore you
cannot use input variable names in the
formulas.  The typed in formula must
evaluate to a Scalar value of the proper
type or of a type that can be converted to
the Constant you are using.

The syntax supported is the same as in the
Formula box, but with some exceptions.  You
cannot use array building syntax ([, ])
operators to construct an array, since thay
would return a non-Scalar and the return
value must be Scalar.  Also, you cannont use
input name variables in Constant objects.

In general, the use of any of the dyadic
operators, parentheses for nesting, function
calls, and the predefined numeric constant
"PI" (3.1416...), is allowed.
