Subject:      Nested Macro Question
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Apologies if this has been asked and answered previously.

 

 

I know nesting macros is legitimate. My question is given the structure
below whether

the commands nested in !macro2 can refer to arguments (arg1 - arg5) defined
for

!macro1.

 

 

 

DEFINE !macro1   (  arg1 = !TOKENS(1)

                   /arg2 = !TOKENS(1)

                   /arg3 = !TOKENS(1)

                   /arg4 = !TOKENS(1)

                   /arg5 = !CMDEND   ).

 

 

... commands ...

 

 

 

DEFINE !macro2   (  arg6 = !TOKENS(1)

                   /arg7 = !CMDEND   ).

 

 

... commands ...

 

 

 

!ENDDEFINE.

!macro2    arg6    =xx

           arg7    =xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

 

 

... commands ...

 

 

 

!ENDDEFINE.

 

!macro1    arg1    ='xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'

           arg2    ='xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'

           arg3    ='xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'

           arg4    =xx

           arg5    =xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks!

Tim
