Global values - macros

[cristiano1974]

Dear Listers,
 I wonder if is possible to use global values into macro, some like a global
!let defined for all macros in syntax.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

Suppose you define the macro
DEFINE !globalVal() 150 !ENDDEFINE.

then you can use !globalVal within other macros. The thing to watch for is
that if !globalVal is used within a macro expression for instance
!CONCAT('var', !globalVal)
you MUST enclose your macro variable within an !EVAL function.
 !CONCAT('var', !EVAL(!globalVal))

Hi Cristiano,

I'm affraid macro does not support global variables.
But you could define a macro, something like
DEFINE LetGlob() YourText !ENDDEFINE.
and call the macro at the place where the 'global' variable should be used.
