title: How to declare ASP classic constants to a data type?
body: <p>In asp classic and vbscript, you can declare a Const with a hexidecial value, and a date type value:</p>
  
  <pre><code> Const C_LIGHTCYAN = &amp;hCCFFEE
   Const C_STARTDATE = #1 JAN 2000#
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But how can I declare currency, single or doubles data types?</p>
  
  <pre><code> Const C_LONG = 1024 '# I want this to be a LONG, not an INT!
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><em>I'm sure I've seen something like <code>Const C_LNG = L12345</code> or some other prefix/suffix combination for longs or doubles but can't find the source now</em></p>
