For defining a constant field for use in RPG is it more efficient
(when using to compare against) to have a non-changeable "C" type than
a data structure subfield that is initialized?

Unless I'm missing something, there should be no difference. Under the
covers, the constant becomes an addressable field. Both comparisons will be
done by addressing the values to compare.
