Usage and Interpretation
of
Global Variables in
Macros
When the value
of
any AEOIT-86 variable
is
fetched during
MACRO
Create, the
actual value is used for the current activation. A reference to this variable
is
inserted
into the macro definition. Therefore, in a future activation of the macro, the value
of
the variable
at
the time
of
macro activation
will
be
used, not the value of the variable
at
the time
of
macro definition.
For example,
if
you have the following macro:
I(NSERT)
<
FETS)
7
(ESC)
and S7 ="abc" at the time the macro was defined, abc
is
used for the current activa-
tion.
If
the definition
of
S7
is
changed to xyz and the above macro
is
again activated,
xyz is inserted.
