PPWIZARD is a free preprocessor for HTML, REXX, Visual Basic or any text files.

MacroGet()

This is a rexx function provided by PPWIZARD. This routine (like all PPWIZARD extensions) can be used with any operating system supported by PPWIZARD.

This function takes a single parameter (the name of a macro) and returns its contents.

The macro must already exist (created by #define or #evaluate). The value of the macro is returned, if this contains any macros to be replaced, macro parameters or commands to be executed they are not replaced or executed.

If you need parameter substitution you could create unique strings and use ReplaceString() to perform the "substitution" yourself.

Note that there is also a MacroSet() routine.
