The arguments in a G65 statement are a means of sending values to and setting the local variables of a called
macro subroutine.
In Example 2 above, the arguments X and Y are passed to the macro subroutine local variables. Local variable
#24 is associated with X and is set to 0.5. Similarly, Local variable #25 is associated with Y and is set to 0.25.
The following two tables indicate the mapping of the alphabetic address variables to the numeric variables used
in a macro subroutine.

Arguments accept any floating point value to four decimal places. If you are in metric, the control will assume
thousandths (.000). In Example 3 below, local variable #7 will receive .0004.
If a decimal is not included in an argument value, such as:
G65 P9910 A1 B2 C3
The values are passed to macro subroutines according to the following table:
