The result variable nRESULT is used to pass a number/date, as the result of a macro, to the current script's macros resulting actions.

➢nRESULT is used in the extremely rare cases and is generally deprecated in favor of the use of the macro function FormatText (which, despite its name, this function can be used to apply paragraph attributes and textbox attributes, as well as text attributes).

As it is seldom used, there are no compiler messages to warn you that you may have forgotten to set a value to nRESULT. If you do not set a value for nRESULT, the default case, then it will be assume to be 0 (zero).
