Hello,
I have a custom type that I would like to use in some const variables. I tried this:

Assign:
Sub Process_Globals
    type sometype_t(a as int, b as int)

    dim const some_1 as sometype_t = assign(1, 2)
    dim const some_2 as sometype_t = assign(2, 3)
    dim const some_3 as sometype_t = assign(134, 235)
    dim const some_4 as sometype_t = assign(0, 55)
end sub

private sub assign(p1 as int, p2 as int) as sometype_t
    dim t as sometype_t
    t.a = p1
    t.b = p2
    return t
end sub

But I get an error "cannot find symbol".

Is there any way to assign values to custom types in line?

Thanks
 
Solution
1. Never write code, other than declarations or simple assignments, in Process_Globals.
2. Don't waste your time with activities. Switch to B4XPages.
3. There is a built-in feature to create the sub that you are looking for (though your sub is also fine in this case):
