#serialize woes

[jventerprises]

hi everyone.. why doesnt this work?

const int8 DEVADDRESS=1;
#serialize(id=DEVADDRESS,next="1",prompt="Enter Board Address")

this correctly prompts me for an integer when i program. later in the code i want to do something like this:

int8 temp;
temp=DEVADDRESS;

but DEVADDRESS is always 1 no matter what i type in the prompt! can i not do this? Why doesnt DEVADDRESS update?

thanks for any help

Why you use "const" ? don´t be better " int8 DEVADDRESS=1 " or "static int8 DEVADDRESS=1"? Try it !
