It's simply a value. Just pass the value of the constant.

A constant is defined at compile time. So, if you have

#DEFINE MyConstant ["Eat at Joe's"]

? MyConstant

When you compile, everywhere you use MyConstant in the application will be replaced with "Eat at Joe's". The runtime will know nothing about MyConstant, as it doesn't exist in the compiled code.
