[Gambas-user] Module is not static

[BB]

I'm reviving an old project, not used since Feb 2020, that re/generates 
the Gambas source code for some other project. (Essentially, like the 
Advanced/Format Code in the IDE but with a lot more, anyway...).

But suddenly I have a module "Template" (that contains a set of public 
constants and that's all) that when I refer to it in my code generator I 
get errors like "_ERR: 'Template.ConstDec' is not static_".

The top of the Template module looks like :

' Gambas module file

''' This module contains the code templates for all the code generated by the program.

'=================================================================
'====                        Constants                        ====
'=================================================================
Public Const EventDec As String = "Event #NAME(#SIGNATURE) "      '
Public Const PropertyDec As String = "#STATIC Property #READONLY #NAME #ALIASES As #DATATYPE " '
Public Const GlobalDec As String = "#STATIC #SCOPE #NAME As #AUTOCREATE #DATATYPE #DEFAULTVALUE " '
Public Const ArrayDec As String = "#SCOPE #NAME As #AUTOCREATE #DATATYPE [ #DIMENSIONS ] " '
*Public Const ConstDec As String = "#SCOPE Const #NAME As #DATATYPE = 
#VALUE " ' *
Public Const StructDec As String = "Public Struct #NAME \n  #STRUCTITEMS\n  End Struct" '

and a sample failing line is

   sCode = Replace(*Template.ConstDec*, "#SCOPE", IIf(Me.IsPrivate, "Private", "Public"))

This worked fine two years ago. Any idea what I could be doing wrong?
