Variables are used in macro code to store a value that you have either set or calculated, and which you can use in further instructions.

 

•You must declare the variables you introduce into your macro. Local variables are declared in the var section, input variables in the input section, and global variables in the global section.

•Predefined system variables and result variables do not need to be declared.

•Variables are typed, and their name must reflect their type.

•The value of variables is lost at the end of a macro, except for global variables.
