#DEFINE ( %macro name )
statements
#ENDDEFINE
| #DEFINE | Defines a user defined macro that can be expanded using #EXPAND. |
| %macro name | A user defined symbol used as the macro's identifier. |
| Statements | A sequence of statements. |
| #ENDDEFINE | Terminates the definition of a user defined macro. |
#DEFINE defines the beginning of a section of code which can be expanded into generated code using the #EXPAND statement. A macro may not be defined with any parameters. #DEFINE must be terminated with #ENDDEFINE. Using #DEFINE and #EXPAND to define and expand macros for commonly used code sections will lead to cleaner template code while hiding unneeded target code from immediate view.
Example:
#DEFINE(%InRangeCheck)
IF %ControlUse <;= TODAY()
SELECT(?%ControlUse)
END
#ENDDEFINE
See Also: #EXPAND
