Buntyjain,

Figurative constants are reserved words that name and refer to specific constant values.
ZERO, SPACE, HIGH-VALUE, LOW-VALUE, QUOTE, NULL, and ALL reprenst fixed values and do NOT require a data definition.

Check this link for a good explanation of figurative constants.

Hope this helps...

Cheers
