how many paramters?

How many parameters can be passed to a Macro?

Not an answer, sorry.

 

Unless SeaGtGruff knows the only way to answer this is to experiment and report back. R.T.'s command reference examples seem to go up to 3 parameters.

Testing shows that 46 is the limit. That makes sense, as statements are limited to 50 strings, and the command, macroname, and newline chars take up 4.

 

No reason that couldn't be raised, but it seems sufficient.

As I understand it, macros don't actually save space, right? It's just a readability thing?

[+RevEng]

Yup that's right, but its also a maintainability thing too. If you cut and paste a routine 5 times, when you find a bug you need to update it in 5 places. If you had used macros, you'd just fix it once.

Macros are also a way to pass values to the assembler from bB.

Thanks for that.

 

I would have eventually gotten around to trying it myself but I thought

someone might know already.
