Re: PL/SQL constants in packages/stored packages

I've used packages for globals in both Forms and on the database backend.

  If you want to reference the package variables as globals in forms the package needs to be defined in forms because of the different versions of
PL/SQL as stated below. If you want to reference the variables on the database then that's where they need to be defined.

Hope this helps a little.
