Using Variables over Multiple Macros

Macro Express provides the capability of saving variables used in one macro for use in another. The commands are Variable Save and Variable Restore. You can issue a Variable Save command in one macro and then a Variable Restore command can be placed in another macro. You have the option of saving and restoring all variables or only the text, integer, or decimal variables. Macro Express stores these saved variables in memory. The figure below shows the possibilities available.
