Thanks for the replies guys.

Yeah, it's certainly not something I've seen much of even with PL/SQL.

I think I'll just declare them via functions - it keeps it cleaner that
way - less hassle. I should really define them externally,
perhaps a property file but, they're for internal use (return codes) so
that's a little overkill.
