OPERATION
Variables in a macro
The macro programming language recognises six different kind of variables:

int variables (f0 to f19) are initialised when a print job is
started, but are otherwise treated as a “static local variable”
•
Output variables : Used to place “the result” of the macro. This is required for
a macro to do anything useful. You can use a Macro output variable to store the
result or you can use a special name called output. Example: output=”The
meaning of life is 42”.
System variables
: These variables are controlled by the system and
read from the macro. A system variable is identified by the use of les
and greater than (>) signs. The following system variables are suppo

The macro has access to 20 string variables named s0 to s19. All

The macro has access to 20 integer variables named d0 to d19. All
