No,
if you put a semicolon in there, you will get wrong syntax,
no matter what the datatype is.
Example:
{$MACRO ON}
{$define Fifteen:=15;}
{$define Twelve:=12;}
.......
if HDCOUNT0 >= COUNT0 then X := Fifteen
else X := Twelve;
will generate this Pascal statement:
if HDCOUNT0 >= COUNT0 then X := 15;
else X := 12;
and the semicolon before the else is wrong in Pascal syntax.
Remember: $define (macro processing) is stupid text replacement ...
HTH,

Try removing the semicolon:
{$define Positiva:=False}
{$define Negativa:=True}
Without semicolon it works!
Thanks a lot.
BTW, do you think that this holds true only for the define of boolean
values?
