067: Set Macro Data Length

This is an advanced command that lets you specify that a macro should gather some extra

information (more digits entered after the name of the macro) when it is executed and pass that

information on to the commands inside of the macro. See the examples below for some of the

possible uses of this command.

<067> mmm recall data length for macro ‘mmm’

<067> mmm xx y ‘mmm’ is the macro number

‘xx’ is number of digits of data

‘y’ is ‘0' if the amount of data must be exact or

‘1' if more data is OK.

Notes:

When the macro executes, any commands in the macro that require a fixed amount of data

will first take the data that was specified when the macro was programmed, then will take as

many of the digits specified at runtime as needed.

Commands in the macro that will accept a variable amount of data get all of the remaining

digits specified at run-time.

Any extra digits will be discarded.

Examples:

Extra autopatch up code:

067 500 01 1 ; allow macro 500 to take 1 or more digits

053 500 112 ; make macro 500 call patch up command

; the phone number will be specified at runtime

010 500 n..n ; rename new patch up code to "n..n"

Usage: “n..n <phone number>”

Connect port 3 to the port that user specifies:

067 501 01 0 ; allow macro 500 to take 1 digit

053 501 000 3 ; connect port 3 to port specified at runtime

Usage: "501 x" will connect port 3 to port x
