Macro call parameters

This wizard contains the information specified in the Macro call section of the -CP Lines tab. The Macro call parameters consist of the line number and the parameters, if any, of the Macro call.

Line number
Enter two numeric characters in this field. When a Macro is parameterized, it is used to call it into the same program several times.
Macro comments
You can see here the comments on the Macro parameters entered on the Comments tab of the Macro. These comments give explanations which may be useful when modifying these parameters.
Parameters
Up to 20 parameters can be used in a Macro. They are formatted as $n (with n= 1,2,...,9,0) and $x (with x= A,B,...J) and are listed in the Parameters column.

You must specify the replacement values of the parameters in the form of character strings. Each occurrence of the parameter in the Macro is then replaced by the value entered for this particular Program.

The number of characters used for each parameter value must correspond to the appropriate field length for the element being parameterized. For example, if $1 is being used as a Function code, the value must be two characters long.
