Variable Symbol Restrictions

There are restrictions on the use of variable symbols:

• CLIST variable symbols may NOT be contained within EQUATE phrases. However, this does not preclude the use of CLIST variables as replacement tokens within the raw command.
• Replacement tokens (for MACRO and positional variables) must appear at the end of the raw command text. The variable symbols themselves may be buried arbitrarily deeply within a nest of EQUATE phrases.
