34.4.2 Including macros and variables in system commands

System commands can include the following:

Predefined macro variables other than those listed here do not work in system commands. Macro variable <$$_macroparam> can be used only within a macro; see §28.7 Passing a parameter to a macro.

Include macro expressions

You can use macro expressions in system commands: math and string manipulations, conditional expressions, loops, formatted output, and so forth; see §28.6 Using expressions in macros.

Prompt for user variables

You can have Mif2Go prompt you for values of user variables that appear in system commands; see §34.5 Supplying run-time values for user variables.
