Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Getting Started:
Object-oriented Programming

> ## Using compile-time arguments

> Compile-time arguments are a mechanism to pass compile-time values to an external procedure file or an include file. This facility is not supported for classes but is supported by include files referenced by a class, as shown:

>     CLASS Test:
>         CONSTRUCTOR PUBLIC Test (INPUT in AS INTEGER):
>             {build-info.i &build-num=num &build-date=today}
>         END CONSTRUCTOR.
>     END CLASS.

> This is the contents of `build-info.i`:

>     MESSAGE {&build-num}
>             {&build-date}
>             VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX.
