constants in LC server

[Matthias Rebbe]

To answer my own question, it seems that constants on LC Server only work in handlers.

So this script outputs the values

<?lc
on showCostant
  constant kText="Peter",kNumber="3"
  put kText & "<br>" & kNumber
end showConstant

showConstant
?>

I think that´s a bug, either in LC Server or at least in the documentation, as the documentation doesn't mention it.
So i filed a bug (#19886 <http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=19886>).
