[comp.os.msdos.misc] 123 Getlabel macro question

ccastdf@prism.gatech.EDU (Dave) (02/28/91)

    I want to use the GETLABEL and GETNUMBER macro commands to issue a
variable prompt and perform input. The example below is a macro subroutine
INPSUB for input, which uses the contents of PROMPT as a prompt string, and
returns the user input in CURINPUT.
 
Defined Ranges -------------PROMPT CURINPUT NAME ADDR
 
Macro Steps -----------
                        :
                {let PROMPT,"Enter your name: "}
                {INPSUB}
                {let NAME,CURINPUT}
                {let PROMPT,"Enter your address: "}
                {INPSUB}
                {let ADDR,CURINPUT}
                        :
 
{INPSUB}        {getlabel PROMPT,CURINPUT}
                return
 
    This seems to work in V2.2, but not V2.01.  Should this work in V2.01? 
Am I doing something wrong?  Is there some otheacro what v1-2-3 is running?
 
Please reply by e-mail or post..
