Passing values

Some information can best be passed back and forth between the editor and the macro in pairs. These examples show assignment statements that pass two values:

CLIST Statements	REXX Statements
`ISREDIT (LB,RB) = BOUNDS ISREDIT BOUNDS = (LB,RB)`	`ADDRESS ISPEXEC 'ISREDIT (LB,RB) = BOUNDS' 'ISREDIT BOUNDS = (LB,RB)'`

In the first statement, the current left and right boundaries are stored into the variables LB (LEFTBND) and RB (RIGHTBND). In the second statement, the values from the variables LB and RB are used to change the current boundaries.

For more information on which edit macro commands take one variable and which take two, see Edit macro commands and assignment statements.
