28.3.1.2 Creating a macro variable

You create a Mif2Go macro variable when you do any of the following:

• Use the variable as the first term in a macro assignment or increment/decrement statement; see §28.3.2 Assigning values to macro variables.

• List the name of the variable in [MacroVariables] (for use in macros); see §28.3.2 Assigning values to macro variables.

• List the name of the variable in one of the following configuration-file sections:

– [MacroVariables] (for use in macros); see §28.3.2 Assigning values to macro variables

– [UserVars] (for use in system commands); see §34.5.1 Assigning an initial value to a user variable

• Define a FrameMaker user variable in your document; see §28.3.5 Treating FrameMaker user variables as macro variables

• Assign a TextStore or CodeStore property to a paragraph format; see §28.3.7 Creating macro variables from paragraph content.
