The following two tables indicate the mapping of the alphabetic address vari-
ables to the numeric variables used in a macro subroutine.

Arguments accept any oating-point value to four decimal places. If the control
is in metric, it will assume thousandths (.000). In Example 3, local variable #7
will receive .0004. If a decimal is not included in an argument value, such as:
G65, P9910, A1, B2, C3, the values are passed to macro subroutines accord-
ing to the following table:

All 33 local macro variables can be assigned values with arguments by using
the alternate addressing method. The following example shows how one could
send two sets of coordinate locations to a macro subroutine. Local variables #4
through #9 would be set to .0001 through .0006 respectively.
Example 3: G65 P2000 I1 J2 K3 I4 J5 K6;
