Then this is a language issue. 'const' is clearly not the correct type declaration for that variable. As suggested suggested earlier, it would make more sense to maybe implement something like shown below - or whatever language construct the developers can come up with. var a: word = 1; static; 'const' or constant is simply not a very accurate description of the usage of that "writeable" variable/constant. It goes against the "easy readability design" of the Object Pascal language, and is very unclear as to the meaning of that typed constant.
