8.60. MACROA -- Add Command to Current Macro
This command adds a command to the macro currently in progress. This is used in conjunction with 
the MACROS and MACROW commands to create a new macro. 
The syntax of this command specifies a macro number, a comma, and then the command to be 
added to the macro. The command to be added to the macro can be any valid command except the 
following: 
● any PRESET command
● any MACRO command
● any logic input or output command
If an attempt to assign an invalid command to a macro is made (via 
MACROA), then the error 
condition ERROR#074 will be generated. 
An error will be generated if the specified command is not a valid command. However, an error will 
not be generated if the specified command is valid, but its data is invalid. For example: 
Q01MACROA25,LAYDOWNTHEBOOGIE 
Would return an error because it does not contain a valid command. However: 
Q01MACROA62,MUTEOMYMOTHERINLAW 
Would not return an error because it contains a 
MUTEO command. An error would be returned when 
the macro is executed with a 
MACROX or MACROQ command and it tries to execute the MUTEO 
command with strange data.
