MACROX

MACROX macroname macroarguments

The MACROX command executes the macro macroname in the current variable environment, passing it the arguments specified by macroarguments. Any changes the macro does to the environment will persist after its execution. This includes any unwanted changes, so be careful.

The macro source code macroname must be loaded (see the LOAD command). The macroarguments passed to the macro are stored in the variable #ARGV of the called macro. Because of the special command-line processing in STx, all string replacements are applied to and all special parsing information (e.g. quotation marks) are removed from macroarguments before it is assigned to #ARGV. For more information on argument passing, and parsing, see Argument Passing. For a broader information on macro programming, see Script Programming in STx.
