The only value that can be assigned to constants of default and component types is the special value null.<br />
<br />
This note is correct only for component constants declared in the module declaration part. However, component constants declared inside code blocks and default constants can have other values that null as demonstrated in the following examples:<br />
<br />
// valid in a module declaration part<br />
altstep a()<br />
{<br />
&#160;&#160;[] any timer.timeout{};<br />
}<br />
const default constDefault := activate(a());<br />
