2.2 Teaching a Macro Job

Teaching a Macro Job
Teach a macro job which is prepared as a macro command in the same
manner as normal jobs.
A maximum of sixteen argument tags can be added to a macro command.
Since the data of the argument tag is stored in a local variable to be used,
the required number of local variables must be set in a "JOB HEADER"
before teaching the macro job.
For the setting procedure of the local variables, refer to
section 3.9.11 "Editing Local Variables" described in the
SUPPLE-
MENT
"DX200 OPERATOR'S MANUAL".
In a macro job, job execution instructions such as JUMP,
NOTE
CALL, and PSTART cannot be registered.

2.2.1.1 Function

The GETARG instruction is an instruction to receive an argument for
macro command. When a macro command is executed, the GETARG
instruction gets the data of the argument tag which is added to the macro
command, and stores it in a local variable to be used in the macro job.
