Hi Luca,
The following works:
SET MPRINT=YES /PRINTBACK=YES.
DEFINE !VERSION() 01 !ENDDEFINE.
DEFINE !TEMP() "D:\TEMP\" !ENDDEFINE.
DEFINE !save(!POS=!TOKENS(1) /!POS=!TOKENS(1) /!POS=!TOKENS(1))
SAVE OUTFILE !1 + !QUOTE(!CONCAT(!2,!3,".SAV")).
!ENDDEFINE.
!save !temp MN !version.
Cheers!

Subject: save outfile with two macro parameters
I am trying to run:
SAVE OUTFILE !TEMP+"MN"+!VERSION+".SAV".
but i get:
>Warning # 207 in column 14. Text: D:\TEMP\MN
>A '+' was found following a text string, indicating continuation, but the
>next non-blank character was not a quotation mark or an apostrophe.
>Error # 5303 in column 7. Text: 01
>A symbol not allowed on the SAVE, XSAVE, or SAVE DIMENSIONS command has
>been encountered. Check spelling and punctuation.
>This command not executed.
Here are the two parameters definition earlier on into the syntax:
DEFINE !VERSION() 01 !ENDDEFINE.
DEFINE !TEMP() "D:\TEMP\" !ENDDEFINE.
Any suggestion on how to solve this matter will be appreciated.
