I'm using the EWARM 431

When trying:

const int a = 30;

it locates 'a' in ram. I couldn't find an example where it is defined 
as a flash const.

Please help.

Thanks

Check the linker file (.xcl).  You may be linking the project to load 
in RAM instead of flash. 

There are seperate linker files for RAM and FLASH for most of the parts
This will place code and constants on RAM (at 400000000+)

-DROMSTART=40000040
-DROMEND=40003FFF

This places code and contstants in ROM at 0x00000040:

-DROMSTART=00000040
-DROMEND=0000FFFF

AFAIK there is no "standard" way to achieve this. But with all the 
different compilers I use,
static const int a = 30;
works.

Or use a pragma to place a into DATA_C (see IAR manual).
